@Maugli Thanks Maugli for giving me directions on this. But when i went through the below link


for 5,500,000 to 5,999,999 the reward is 26.

I tried to validate it from explorer for block - 5,999,999 and it is 0.115961 Algos. Could you please help me understand this

@debasish - Hopefully this will provide some clarity for you;

“I tried to validate it from explorer for block - 5,999,999 and it is 0.115961 Algos. Could you please help me understand this” - When you reference 0.115961 that is actually the Reward specified by Algorand which is defined as **Reward - The amount of microAlgos per MEU earned since genesis ** meaning that 0.115961 from the block represents the amount of earnings 1 ALGO in the Genisis block would have earned by the time that block finalized.

The number you should focus on is the Rate field in the block on Goalseeker.

Hope this helps.

@NHamilton i did not get that completely but what i understood please validate.

  1. 0.115961 is the amount of micro algos earned since genesis/this block got finalized and how this earning is shown for this particular addresses if i want to get it from JSON structure. Like if any one wants to get the balance till 5,999,999 for the particular address involved in 5,999,999. How an i get that.
