Adaptive Emission
Flexible Monetary Policy Through Community Governance
Ergo's adaptive emission system enables the community to adjust monetary policy parameters through consensus mechanisms and miner voting, ensuring the network can respond to changing economic conditions without hard forks.

Understanding Ergo's emission model and governance mechanisms
Emission Timeline
Ergo's declining emission schedule and post-emission sustainability
Current Phase (2021-2057)
- • Initial emission: 75 ERG per block
- • Reduction every 3 months by 3 ERG
- • Total supply: ~97.7 million ERG
- • Foundation allocation: 4.37%
Post-Emission (2057+)
- • Miner rewards from transaction fees
- • Storage rent from inactive UTXOs
- • Potential re-emission if voted
- • Long-term network sustainability
Governance
How Ergo's governance system enables sustainable economic policy
Emission Schedule
Declining emission with periodic reductions and post-emission sustainability through storage rent and transaction fees.
Storage Rent Economics
UTXOs unspent for 4+ years pay storage fees, providing sustainable miner revenue and preventing state bloat.
Miner Voting Process
Community proposals, 1024-epoch voting period, 90% threshold requirement, and gradual activation.
Economic Parameters
Adjustable parameters include block size, storage fee factor, min fee, and computational cost limits.
Storage Rent
Sustainable miner revenue through storage fees on inactive UTXOs
4 Year Period
UTXOs unspent for 4+ years begin paying storage rent, preventing blockchain bloat and providing miner revenue.
Fee Structure
Storage fees are calculated based on UTXO size and age, with a current rate of approximately 4.43% per 4-year period.
Network Benefits
Prevents state bloat, ensures long-term sustainability, and provides perpetual miner rewards after emission ends.
Historical Votes
