Explore the complete Cardano ADA supply distribution for epoch 598, which began on 2025-11-30 and lasted five days.
This interactive insight helps you understand how the total ADA supply is allocated across key categories — from circulating supply and reserves to staking rewards and the treasury.
At the close of each 5-day epoch, the Ouroboros protocol performs supply and reward calculations across all participating nodes. The resulting transfers distribute staking rewards and allocate a portion to the Cardano treasury, supporting ongoing development and ecosystem growth.

Epoch 598 facts:
Q: How did the values change compared to the previous Epoch?
A: At the start of epoch 598, the Cardano Ouroboros protocol distributed the staking rewards for epoch 596 and transaction fees collected in epoch 597. This transferred 10,091,761 ada from the reserves to the active supply, equivalent to a 0.15% decrease in reserves and a 0.03% increase in active supply.
Q: How much ada was added to the treasury?
A: In epoch 598, rewards and fees contributed 3,653,493 ada — 36.20% of the overall staking rewards — to the treasury. However, withdrawals of 5,000,000 ada from this epoch outweighed this amount, resulting in a net decrease of 1,346,507 ada (-0.08%) compared to the previous epoch.
Q: How many fees were collected and distributed?
A: In epoch 598, a total of 41,803 ada in transaction fees was collected for a distribution next epoch. 48,288 ada from epoch 597 was distributed as rewards and treasury extension. These fees came from 142,892 transactions, averaging 0.31 ada per transaction, and accounted for 0.48% of the total rewards distributed
Q: Were there withdrawals from the treasury in epoch 598?

Q: Where can I learn more about the Cardano Mainnet reward calculation?
The reward calculation is based on the ledger specification. Further information can be found in the Cardano Blueprint documentation. There is an independent Java implementation with many explanations, as well as a training course from Cardano Academy on calculating staking rewards.
