# Ergo Emission Schedule

Ergo's journey, which began in 2017, saw the successful launch of its mainnet in July 2019. Prior to the mainnet, the Ergo-First-Year-Token (EFYT) was in circulation.
Ergo's journey, which began in 2017, saw the successful launch of its mainnet in July 2019. Prior to the mainnet, '*Ergo-First-Year-Token*' (EFYT) was in circulation and swapped with the treasury on launch.

For detailed information on EFYT, including its tokenomics and distribution, please refer to [this page](efyt.md).

## Total Supply and Allocation

Ergo's total supply is capped at **97,739,925 ERGs**, distributed as follows:
Ergo's total supply is capped at **97,739,925 ERGs** and distributed as follows:

- **Genesis State Inclusions**: Includes 1 ERG for proof-of-no-premine and 4,330,791.5 ERGs for the [Foundation Treasury](https://explorer.ergoplatform.com/en/addresses/4L1ktFSzm3SH1UioDuUf5hyaraHird4D2dEACwQ1qHGjSKtA6KaNvSzRCZXZGf9jkfNAEC1SrYaZmCuvb2BKiXk5zW9xuvrXFT7FdNe2KqbymiZvo5UQLAm5jQY8ZBRhTZ4AFtZa1UF5nd4aofwPiL7YkJuyiL5hDHMZL1ZnyL746tHmRYMjAhCgE7d698dRhkdSeVy).
- **Miner Rewards**: 93,409,132 ERGs, designated for 2,080,800 blocks, as per the emission schedule ([Miner Reward Box](https://explorer.ergoplatform.com/en/addresses/2Z4YBkDsDvQj8BX7xiySFewjitqp2ge9c99jfes2whbtKitZTxdBYqbrVZUvZvKv6aqn9by4kp3LE1c26LCyosFnVnm6b6U1JYvWpYmL2ZnixJbXLjWAWuBThV1D6dLpqZJYQHYDznJCk49g5TUiS4q8khpag2aNmHwREV7JSsypHdHLgJT7MGaw51aJfNubyzSKxZ4AJXFS27EfXwyCLzW1K6GVqwkJtCoPvrcLqmqwacAWJPkmh78nke9H4oT88XmSbRt2n9aWZjosiZCafZ4osUDxmZcc5QVEeTWn8drSraY3eFKe8Mu9MSCcVU)).

The Treasury's funds are governed by a smart contract, that released ERGs gradually over the first 2.5 years, without exceeding 10% of the circulating supply.

## Mining and Emission Duration

Ergo's block reward decreases by 3 ERG per block every quarter until 2026 and stabilizes at 3 ERG per block thereafter. The mining process is projected to continue until around 2045, extended from the original 2027 timeline with the passage of the [EIP27](eip27.md) soft-fork. For a visual overview, see the emission schedule on [ergo.watch](https://ergo.watch/emission).

## Proof of No Premine

Ergo embeds Bitcoin and Ethereum block hashes and headlines from The Guardian, Vedomosti, and Xinhua in its pre-genesis state for transparency. This is detailed in the [mainnet.conf](https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/blob/1935c95560a30b19cdb52c1a291e8a389ba63c97/src/main/resources/mainnet.conf#L11) file.

## Ergo Foundation

The Ergo Foundation focuses on protocol development, ecosystem growth, promoting Ergo's use for social good, supporting decentralized infrastructure, and upholding privacy rights. The Foundation's Treasury, receiving 4.43% of emitted ERGs, funds various initiatives. More information is in the [transparency report](ergo-foundation-2022.md).

## Unique Aspects of Ergo's Emission

### Proof of No Premine

Ergo includes Bitcoin and Ethereum block hashes and headlines from The Guardian, Vedomosti, and Xinhua in its pre-genesis state for verification purposes. This is detailed in the [mainnet.conf](https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/blob/1935c95560a30b19cdb52c1a291e8a389ba63c97/src/main/resources/mainnet.conf#L11) file.


### Verification Process

Ergo's emission logic underwent rigorous verification using the Stainless formal verification tool, ensuring accuracy and validity. Details can be found in [this code section](https://github.com/ScorexFoundation/sigmastate-interpreter/pull/580/files#diff-18d3c92c2086c9ddd9b462191b55cf5e8438a29b0e786c6ab541f7def8330808).
