Emission Rate
The speed at which new tokens are created and released into circulation, typically expressed as tokens per day, month, or year. Emission schedules vary widely: Bitcoin's emissions halve every four years, while some DeFi protocols have aggressive early emissions that taper over time. Understanding a project's emission rate relative to demand is essential for evaluating its tokenomics and potential inflationary pressure.
