I didn’t fully understand the halving math at first. I saw the 70/10/10/5/5 split and assumed the incentives basically stayed the same.
But the percentages can stay fixed while the actual DUSK reward gets much smaller.
After the first halving, the generator base reward moves from 13.90018 to roughly 6.95009 DUSK. The validation pool also drops from 0.99287 to about 0.49644. After more halvings, that gap becomes even harder to ignore.
That made me look at DUSK Network a bit differently. The important question isn’t just who gets what percentage. It’s whether those smaller absolute rewards still give validators and other participants enough reason to keep doing the work the network depends on.
Maybe fees eventually become more important as emission rewards shrink. But thats not automatic, and I think this is where the long-term incentive design gets interesting.
DUSK Network can keep the same allocation structure for years, yet the economic meaning of that structure keeps changing.
So I’m starting to think the real test isn’t the halving itself.
It’s whether network usefulness can grow faster than the rewards disappear.
