  The current block reward for Ethereum is 2 ETH. This means that for every new block that is added to the Ethereum blockchain, the miner who successfully mines the block is rewarded with 2 ETH. This reward serves as an incentive for miners to continue securing the network and validating transactions. It's important to note that the block reward is subject to change as Ethereum undergoes updates and transitions to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.

  As of now, the block reward for Ethereum is 2 ETH. This reward is given to miners who successfully solve the complex mathematical puzzles required to add a new block to the Ethereum blockchain. The block reward serves as both an incentive for miners to participate in the network and a way to distribute new Ethereum coins into circulation. However, it's worth mentioning that Ethereum has plans to transition to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which will change the way rewards are distributed.

  The current block reward for Ethereum is 2 ETH. This reward is given to miners who contribute their computational power to secure the Ethereum network and validate transactions. It's important to note that the block reward is not fixed and can change over time due to various factors such as network upgrades and changes in the Ethereum protocol. However, as of now, miners can expect to receive 2 ETH for successfully mining a new block on the Ethereum blockchain.
