Flux block reward reduction
Flux (FLUX) undergoes a block reward reduction on October 26, 2026, lowering the amount of new FLUX issued to miners. The date is confirmed, and the event falls on the current day.
What is happening
The Flux network reduces the block reward paid to miners, which cuts the rate at which new FLUX tokens enter circulation. The reduction is scheduled for Monday, October 26.
The event was listed in a weekly crypto and macro calendar. It appears alongside other items for the week, including an Osmosis (OSMO) v32 upgrade on October 27 and a GMX buyback with the introduction of an unstaking lock on October 28. The same week also includes the second day of the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting, a policy rate decision and a press conference by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, as well as several major U.S. data releases and big-tech earnings.
The available sources do not provide the exact size of the reduction, the block height at which it takes effect, or the resulting annual inflation rate, so those details are not covered here.
Why it matters
A lower block reward reduces new token issuance to miners. For a proof-of-work network, this changes the economics of mining, since miners earn fewer newly created coins per block. For holders, it means a slower pace of new supply entering the market compared with the period before the change.
Traders often track such supply-schedule changes because they alter the rate of new tokens available for sale by miners. The reduction takes place in the same week as the FOMC decision and several U.S. macro releases, so broader market conditions may also influence trading activity around the date. The event is rated as moderate in importance. Anyone following FLUX may want to check the network's official channels for the exact parameters and the block at which the change activates.
