🧮Emission & Inflation Overview

AINC is designed with a sustainable, deflationary emission curve, rewarding early participants while preserving long-term scarcity.


Emission Details

  • Initial Weekly Emission: 600,000 AINC

  • Decay Rate: 0.5% per week (compounding)

  • Emission Duration: 10 years (520 weeks)

  • Total Emissions: Gradually approaches ~1,000,000,000 AINC

  • Post-Emission Inflation: None, fixed supply, no minting beyond the cap

This model front-loads incentives to bootstrap adoption while tapering emissions over time to support sustainability.


Early Inflation Dynamics

Approximately 50% of all AINC emissions occur in the first 3 years.

  • Year 1 Estimate: ~26M–30M AINC emitted

  • Initial Inflation Rate: ~2.6%–3% (vs. total capped supply)

  • Trend: Emissions and inflation decrease continuously, trending toward zero by Year 10

This creates strong incentives for early participation while minimizing long-term dilution risk.


APR Potential

AINC emissions are distributed to lending vaults and markets. Actual APRs vary based on:

  • TVL in the vault

  • Weekly AINC allocation

  • Market price of AINC

Example Scenario: A vault receives 200,000 AINC/week with $10M TVL:
