- Dash block reduction occurred at block height 1,892,161.

The block reward on the Dash (DASH) blockchain network has reduced after its halving that took effect at block height 1,892,161.
Like Bitcoin, Dash cuts its block reward. However, instead of the halving that for instance sees Bitcoin’s block reward cut in half every four years, Dash reduces the reward by 7.14% every 210,240 blocks.
With the network’s block time of 2.5 minutes, DASH block reward reduction happens approximately every 365 days. The& countdown to the next halving is estimated to occur in the first week of July 2024, with the block reward set to reduce from 2.3097 DASH to 2.1448 DASH.
Dash block reward distribution
Like in other mining coins, block reward reduction affects what miners earn for deploying their computational power to process transactions and secure the network. Reducing the reward therefore impacts their overall profitability.
For instance, Dash’s latest halving saw mining pool ViaBTC& inform miners that the reward will reduce from 1.05 to 0.98 DASH.
Block rewards are split three-way: Miners and masternodes, which are key to the network’s privacy feature (CoinJoin) and instant transactions (InstantSend), share 90% of the block reward, while 10% goes to the DASH Treasury DAO.
Currently, the distribution between miners and masternodes is 42.3% and 57.7% respectively. The ratio is set to change in favour of the masternodes over time, with this reaching the 40:60 ratio by May 2025.
DASH “halving” happens approximately 40 days to Litecoin’s halving expected in August this year. After that, the most anticipated block halving event will be Bitcoin’s, which is scheduled to happen in April 2024 (the countdown is down to about 308 days).
