# Mining Allocation & Emissions

**How it works:**

* **Daily Mining Pool:** Each day, a maximum pool of tokens is available. Actual distribution depends on Space activity (new users, engagement, spending).
* **Activity-Driven Emissions:** The full daily cap is rarely reached, which means rewards are naturally stretched over a much longer period than the initial 4-year allocation.
* **Balanced Rewards:** 50% of daily mining rewards are liquid, while 50% are staked for 12 months — protecting token health while ensuring long-term value for players.

**Why it’s sustainable:**

* **“Hard to Finish Mining”** — Since no day can hit 100% of the pool, emissions extend well beyond the scheduled 4 years.
* **Scarcity Built-In** — Rewards are capped at 35% of supply, preventing inflation.
* **Revenue Alignment** — As mining emissions gradually taper, platform revenue (top-ups, ads, marketplace fees, esports, staking) increasingly drives incentives.
* **Fair & Predictable** — Distribution scales with real usage, not speculation.
