Reward Transaction
The reward transaction is the first transaction in each block. There is only one reward transaction per block, and it has the same format as a transfer transaction, but with zero fees and no signature.
The sender address is the Treasury address, and the receiver address is defined by the block proposer. The amount of the reward transaction should be equal to the block reward plus transaction fees. This amount will go to the proposer account as a block reward. Therefore, in each block, one coin from the Treasury account transfers to the proposer account as a block reward.
