Filecoin: Solstice changes block reward allocation - 19 Oct 2026

Filecoin's Solstice upgrade (FIP118) activates on 19 Oct 2026, changing how the network allocates block rewards. The upgrade directs a growing share to services that bring paying customers onto the network.

Solstice reduces the share for consensus-only mining and burns unearned service rewards. The change ties more FIL rewards to paid use of network services and is one of the largest changes to FIL reward economics since launch.
