What happens when all ERG is mined?

When emission ends (~2045), miners will continue earning from transaction fees and storage rent. Unlike Bitcoin which relies solely on fees, Ergo's storage rent provides a sustainable income stream by recycling coins from inactive boxes. The network remains secure without depending on ever-increasing transaction volume.

  • Emission ends approximately 2045
  • Miners earn transaction fees
  • Storage rent provides additional income
  • Lost coins get recirculated
  • No 'security budget' crisis
  • Sustainable by design
