I checked DUSK's supply page expecting a simple fixed cap 1,000,000,000 DUSK looked like exactly that at first glance.
The figure alone is weak here since half of it isn't really capped in any static sense 500,000,000 DUSK already exists from the pre mainnet supply.The remaining 500,000,000 gets released through a geometric decay schedule with a reduction rate of 0.5.It halves every 4 years across a full 36 year emission window rather than arriving all at once.
That structure quietly rewards timing more than patience alone,a provisioner staking during an earlier 4 year window collects a meaningfully larger share of that 500,000,000 pool than one joining after several halvings have already passed.That holds even if both eventually stake for the same total number of years.
Front loading emissions this way is a reasonable design choicen it helps bootstrap validator participation before transaction fees alone could sustain network security.
Which raises a specific question nobody seems to track publicly how far into that first 4 year halving window is Dusk right now?And how much of the 500,000,000 has actually been distributed to date?
