## EpochRewards

The EpochRewards sysvar tracks the progress of epoch rewards distribution. The
sysvar is created in the first block of the epoch, and lasts for several blocks
while paying out the rewards. When all rewards have been distributed, the sysvar
is deleted. Unlike other sysvars, which almost always exist on-chain,
EpochRewards sysvar only exists during the reward period. Therefore, calling
`EpochRewards::get()` on blocks that are outside of the reward period will
return an error, i.e. `UnsupportedSysvar`. This can serve as a method for
determining whether epoch rewards distribution has finished.
The EpochRewards sysvar tracks whether the rewards period (including calculation
and distribution) is in progress, as well as the details needed to resume
distribution when starting from a snapshot during the rewards period. The sysvar
is repopulated at the start of the first block of each epoch.
