The higher the ranking, the better? Let’s learn about Filecoin’s penalty mechanism

Filecoin Penalty Mechanism

The sector failure fee refers to the fee paid per sector every day when the sector is in a faulty state, and the amount of the fee is slightly greater than the expected income of the sector. If a sector remains in a faulty state for more than two consecutive weeks, the sector will pay a termination fee and be deleted from the chain. For a faulty sector, the initial value of this fee is 2.14 days of block rewards.

The sector fault detection fee is a one-time fee paid when a miner fails to report a fault and an unreported fault is found on the chain. The fee is the 5-day block reward that a specific sector can receive.

If investors want to obtain more optimistic returns, it is far from enough to refer only to the rankings. The returns of investors are directly related to the success rate of sector packaging and mining efficiency.
