the Block Reward will decrease from 5 to 3 Eth per Block within this hardfork.
this is because Metropolis actually will be splitted into two hardforks and
the first part of Metropolis will take place in end of september.
Because the Difficulty Bombe is delayed to the second part of Metropolis, the developers decided to reduce the block rewards to counteract this circumstance.
