### The Basics

Monero block rewards will never drop to zero. Block rewards gradually dropped until tail emission commenced at the end of May 2022. At this point, rewards will stay fixed at 0.6 XMR or less* per block.

* Due to block size penalties.

### Why

Miners need an incentive to mine. Because of the dynamic blocksize, competition between @miners will cause fees to decrease. If mining is not profitable due to a high cost and low reward, miners lose their incentive and will stop mining, reducing the security of the network.

Tail emission ensures that a dynamic block size and fee market can develop.
