Minting and the Nomination system

Authoritative overview aligned with qortal.dev/wiki/minting and qortal.dev/wiki/q-mintership. Prefer this over older “sponsorship key” language.

What minting is

Minting is how Qortal produces blocks. Accounts with minting rights run a full node and share in each block’s reward while online. It is not Proof of Work mining and not Proof of Stake — influence comes from sustained participation (blocksMinted → minting level), not from buying hardware races or locking coins.

One minting account per person. Running multiple minting accounts to multiply rewards is not allowed; Minter Admins remove related accounts from the MINTER group if the rule is broken.

Levels (practical facts)

blocksMinted is cumulative and never resets.
Level drives reward share and permissions (e.g. Level 5+ can nominate).
Level 1 is about 7,200 online minted blocks. Credits are batched (~every 1,000 blocks), so Level 1 often shows after roughly 8,000–9,000 online blocks. Trust the Level shown in Hub, not a raw counter alone.

Approximate block-reward share by level bands:

Levels 1–2: 6%
Levels 3–4: 13%
Levels 5–6: 19%
Levels 7–8: 26%
Levels 9–10: 32% (tier may be inactive until minters exist there)
Legacy QORA transition share: 1%
Minter/Dev Admin share: at least 3% (details evolve; see live chain / Q-Mintership)

Block reward emission

At Genesis (29 June 2020) the reward was 5 QORT per block. About every six months it steps down by 0.25 QORT toward a floor of 2 QORT. After that, yearly votes can adjust within 1–5 QORT per block. There is no hard cap on total QORT; new coins are created by minting.

From sponsorship to Nominations (current)

Qortal no longer uses sponsorship keys for onboarding minters.

Current path = Nominations inside the Q-Mintership Q-App, approved by community-elected Minter Admins on-chain:

A Level 5+ minter publishes a nomination card for you (you cannot nominate yourself).
A poll opens; community and admin votes are tracked separately.
At roughly 40% Minter Admin “yes”, admin action buttons unlock.
An admin creates a MINTER group invite; ~40% of admins must sign via group approval (~9 of ~21 admins at typical counts — the exact number changes).
You JOIN_GROUP, then add a minting account in Q-Node and keep a synced full node online.

What helps a nomination: registered name, real QDN publishes, helpful community presence, and a nominator who knows your work. Viewing content alone is weak evidence; durable QDN publishes are strongest.

Guides to open on QDN

Welcome to Qortal (APP) — onboarding / orientation for newcomers.
Q-Minter (WEBSITE, “Q-Minter Guide”) — detailed minting guide.
Q-Mintership (APP) — live nomination board and admin flow.

When the user is in QDN mode, recommend opening these as QDN tabs.
