🧮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:

$0.10
$20,000
$1,040,000
10.4%
$0.20
$40,000
$2,080,000
20.8%
APRs can increase dramatically with rising AINC price.
