Kaspa emission schedule
Kaspa's reward shrinks a little every month and halves every year. Here's where it is now and where it's going.

How the schedule works
Kaspa issues new coins to miners on a smooth curve called the chromatic phase. Instead of Bitcoin-style halvings every four years, the reward falls a little every month:
- Each month the block reward is multiplied by
(1/2)^(1/12), about 0.9439, a cut of about 5.6%. - After twelve steps the reward has halved.
- The schedule is enforced by consensus and tied to the DAA score, so it can't be changed by any one party.

Frequently asked questions
Does Kaspa have a halving?
Not a single halving day. Kaspa's block reward drops by a factor of (1/2)^(1/12), about 5.6%, every month. Twelve monthly steps add up to a halving every year.
What is Kaspa's maximum supply?
About 28.7 billion KAS. Most of it has already been mined, so new issuance is now a small and shrinking share of the total.
Why is it called the chromatic phase?
The monthly reductions follow the same ratio as the twelve notes of the musical chromatic scale, where each semitone step multiplies frequency by the twelfth root of two. Kaspa's upgrade names, like Crescendo and Toccata, continue the musical theme.
Did 10 BPS change the emission?
No. When Crescendo raised the block rate to 10 per second, the reward per block was divided by ten so the KAS issued per second stayed on the original schedule.
