[View more QRL Improvement Proposals](/roadmap/#qips).





Abstract Emission is currently close to 6 Quanta per minute and will be exponentially reduced to 0 in aproximately 200 years. Reducing the emission to 2 Quanta per minute will reduce the availability of Quanta.
Motivation Lower emission rate will most likely increase demand of Quanta, the price, and people who are willing to point their mining rigs to qrl which will enlarge the network.
Specification To be determined by team if accepted.
Backward compatibility Changing the emission is a hard fork upgrade?
Implementation To be determined by team if accepted.
