How Do Transaction Tips Differ from Block Rewards?

Transaction tips (priority fees) are paid directly by the user to the validator to incentivize faster inclusion of their specific transaction. Block rewards are newly minted coins paid by the protocol to the validator for creating the block.

Tips are variable and dependent on user demand, while block rewards are generally fixed or scheduled.
