Every active blend, no exclusions. Pushed in a single on-chain tx via blend.nefty::setblendmix, so every price moves at the same block.
Why now
You've been asking for it, and the economy is ready. RUST has circulated long enough that a cut won't spike inflation, and the old costs were anchored to an emission curve that doesn't match how people actually play anymore. Halving brings upgrades back in line with what you can realistically earn, and gives long-term holders a reason to spend instead of sit on their stack.
Next halving, gated behind 2 more Quarterings
The next 50% cut won't ship until 2 more Quartering events happen. Why the gate:
Protects NFT holders. Back-to-back halvings would tank the floor on anything blended this week. Two Quarterings gives the market time to absorb supply before the next cut.
Discounts should follow scarcity, not lead it. Quartering tightens the RUST faucet. Two of them means emissions have actually dropped, so cheaper blends help you spend accumulated RUST instead of making it feel pointless to hold.
Ties the trigger to something on-chain. No arbitrary "we felt like it" discounts. Clock is visible, trigger is objective, everyone sees it coming.

Now: all blend RUST costs β50%

π‘οΈ Gate exists so your current NFTs don't get crushed by back-to-back cuts.
