I’ve been looking at DUSK rewards across different epochs, and I’ve been seeing something that keeps bothering me: the burn ratio can look completely different depending on the window.
Seven days feels noisy. Thirty days looks cleaner. Ninety days can almost hide the movement.
I’ve been thinking about this because a fixed emission schedule doesn’t mean realized supply growth is fixed.
A 19.8574 DUSK block reward is scheduled issuance, but it isn’t automatically 19.8574 DUSK of net new supply if credit burns, hard-slashing burns, or other burn activity removes part of it.
I’d track the burn/reward ratio across each 2,160-block epoch, then compare the mean with the median.
If I’m seeing one epoch burn 5% and another 20%, I don’t want to focus on which number looks better. I want to know what changed in network behavior, fees, penalties, or usage.
I’ve also been seeing how easily people mix up emission and inflation. They’re related, but they aren’t the same.
What I’m watching most is persistence.
One extreme week could be noise. Several consecutive epochs of high burn intensity could be a real signal.
I can see the 36-year emission curve being predictable. The realized monetary path? I’m not convinced it will be.
