FPPS (Full Pay Per Share)

Under FPPS the pool calculates the expected value of each share — including the block subsidy and the average transaction fees — and pays it regardless of whether the pool actually found blocks that day. The miner gets bond-like predictable income; the pool carries the luck risk and charges a higher fee (typically 2–4%) for it.

FPPS dominates Bitcoin pooling in 2026 (Foundry, Antpool, F2Pool). It's the right choice for miners with power bills to pay monthly; PPLNS suits those willing to absorb variance for lower fees.
