Hello Abdulkhaliq123,

In that case, why approve blocks at all?
There are two different problems that need solvin

Approving blocks provides another very desirable property - finality. In fact, the transactions are stable once a single block has been deposited on it.

I think Abdulkhaliq123 was talking about from an incentive PoV - why be a block approver when you can get the same reward for doing nothing, essentially?

If you reward each upoc approver the same amount as each block approver, then no one will approve blocks. On the other hand, if you divide the epoc reward between all nodes, then the amount of the reward will be zero because you can just sybil attack it.
