I was going through Dusk's reward distribution table and the burn clause caught me off guard.
The block generator earns 70 percent of each block reward outright, plus up to another 10 percent tied to something called certificate credits. Any part of that extra 10 percent left unclaimed gets burned instead of redistributed.
The docs never actually define what counts as a credit. I checked twice assuming I missed a linked page, but the section just states it and moves on.
That gap bothers me more than it probably should. A burn tied to an undefined participation metric is different from the scheduled or governance triggered burns most projects talk about.
The rest of the split is simple by comparison. Ten percent to a development fund, five to validation, five to ratification.
Emission runs on a 36 year decay schedule, halving every four years, capped at 500 million new DUSK on top of the 500 million initial supply already issued. Against that curve, whatever gets burned per block looks small.
Across thousands of blocks with inconsistent certificate completeness though, it stops looking negligible.
Nothing here changes how I am positioned. It just changes what I am watching in the reward data now.
