but i then came across some new coins like Swipe, which i'm confident that it does not generate that much in transaction fees, and yet the rewards are high?
Let me explain in simple terms. When it comes to rewards, POS is like POW but you just need to hold your coins in a wallet that can stake. In general, the rewards doesn't necessarily comes from transaction fees alone, rewards can also include new coins that is mined from staking and is added to the circulating supply. Though reward distribution method varies from different projects.
yes, in what context was this discussion. if what is discussed is the reward mechanism, then POS with POW is actually the same. it's just that, where does the reward come from, it varies. After all, now a lot is coming from the exchange because the project is making an exchange. so to promote their token as well as their exchange, the reward comes from the exchange.
