The compensation received by a miner who successfully validates a block is determined by the specific blockchain they are mining on.

The block reward for Bitcoin is not static and undergoes a halving event roughly every four years.

Specifically, the block reward halves approximately every 210,000 blocks, which is a mechanism built into the Bitcoin protocol.

This halving process serves a dual purpose: it controls the supply of new bitcoins entering the market and helps to prevent inflation.
