# Mining Reward Distributions
The total amount of tokens distributed for each 1hr epoch is dependent on the network's total number of workers. As the total number of workers increases, the rewards earned for each worker decreases.
#### Tokens distributed by mining are distributed as follows:
Operations/Enhancements/Ecosystem/Infrastructure - 20%
Network participants / Miners - 80%
The Mining Rewards rate begins at 50,000 ELUM yearly tokens per worker and halves every time the total combined network workers triples in size.
Total Network Workers Total Reward/Wrk/yr User Reward/Wkr/yr \
0 - 500 50,000 40,000\
501 - 1,500 25,000 20,000\
1,501 - 4,500 12,500 10,000 \
4,501 - 13,500 6,250 5,000\
13,501 - 40,500 3,125 2,500\
40,501 - 121,500 1562.5 1,250\
121,501 - 364,500 781.25 625\
364,501 - 1,093,500 390.63 312.5\
1,093,501 - 3,280,500 195.31 156.25 \
3,280,501 - 9,841,500 97.66 78.125\
9,841,501 - 29,524,500 48.83 39.0625\
29,524,501 - 88,573,500 24.41 19.53125
\*The total yearly mining reward distribution rate shall never exceed 25% of the total number of remaining tokens in the distribution pool. (For example, if there are 4 Billion remaining tokens in the mining pool, total distribution for each epoch will be calculated using 1 Billion tokens/yr as the maximum total distribution allowed (Total Hourly distribution = 1 Billion / 365 / 24))
