This same staking ledger for epoch $ep$ has a total supply of $8\times10^8$ (800 million) mina tokens. We can compute the odds that this account will win an individual slot in $ep$ using $\phi\left(\dfrac{10^6}{8\times10^8}\right) = 0.0017313674$. This gives us a $\sim0.17\%$ chance that this account will win each slot during epoch $ep$. We can then compute the mean number of blocks we expect this account to produce for this epoch by multiplying the result by $7140$, giving us a probabilistic mean of $\sim12.36$ blocks for the epoch. +Another way to calculate the probability is $1 - 0.25^{\left(\dfrac{10^6}{8\times10^8}\right)}$ which gives the same result as above. + ## Sending Many Transactions It is important to pay out rewards to participants who have delegated their stake to your staking service.
