Every block on Dusk, the Block Generator earns a guaranteed 70% cut, plus up to an additional 10% bonus — but that bonus isn't fixed. It scales with how many committee credits (votes) actually got included in the certificate confirming the previous block. If some of those votes are missing — say, provisioners were offline or slow to respond — the undistributed portion of that bonus doesn't roll over to anyone. It gets burned outright.
What that quietly means is that Dusk's actual circulating emission isn't purely a function of the halving schedule everyone points to. It also depends, block by block, on how completely the network participates in its own consensus. A network with strong uptime and fast, well-synced provisioners burns less and pays out more; a network with sluggish or partially offline committees is silently burning DUSK it never even distributed. The halving curve tells you the ceiling. The actual emission rate underneath that ceiling is being shaped in real time by how healthy consensus participation is on any given block — a deflationary lever nobody voted on, running quietly in the background of every single block.
