Summary

  • Validator liveness rewards were discontinued by CIP-0096, phased down to a $0 cap effective 2026-04-30.
  • Updates the two locally-authored tokenomics pages (overview/understand/canton-coin.mdx, overview/reference/canton-coin-tokenomics.mdx) that still described liveness rewards as an active validator earning mechanism.

Scope note

Most other "liveness reward" mentions in the docs (global-synchronizer/faq.mdx, global-synchronizer/troubleshooting-guide/troubleshooting-methodology.mdx, global-synchronizer/splice-fundamentals/validator-liveness.mdx, wallet/exchange guidance, m5-networks-and-use-cases.mdx, metrics-reference.mdx, error-codes.mdx) live inside COPIED_START/END verbatim blocks sourced from the splice, splice-wallet-kernel, and canton/docs-website repos. Editing those locally would diverge from the hash-tracked upstream source, so those need to be fixed upstream and re-synced rather than patched here. Left for a follow-up decision.

Addresses part of #1049. Relates to #1038 (whose target page, troubleshooting-methodology.mdx, is one of the COPIED-block files above and can't be fixed directly in this repo).

Test plan

  • Verify rendered pages in mintlify dev
  • Confirm no other locally-authored (non-COPIED) pages reference liveness rewards as active

CIP-0096 discontinued validator liveness rewards effective 2026-04-30,
capping the faucet at $0. Activity rewards are now the only validator
minting mechanism; update the two locally-authored tokenomics pages
that described liveness rewards as an active earning mechanism.
