How are rewards distributed to delegators in Avalanche?

• A. Delegators receive a share of validator rewards proportional to their delegated stake and the validator’s performance.
• B. Delegators receive a fixed fee regardless of stake.
• C. Delegators receive rewards only when the validator is online 24/7.
• D. Delegators must stake to the P-Chain to receive rewards.

Answer: (A)

Rewards for delegators come from the rewards earned by the validator they delegate to. The validator accumulates rewards over time based on network incentives and its own performance. Each delegator then receives a share of those rewards proportional to how much they delegated relative to the validator’s total delegated stake, after the validator’s commission (if any) is taken into account. In short, your return scales with both your stake and how well the validator performs, so bigger delegated amounts and higher-performing validators yield larger pro‑rata rewards.
