ANN: Interchained Block Subsidy — The Graceful Decay
We just published a live explorer for Interchained’s block subsidy curve:
subsidy.interchained.org/
This page is not a slogan.
It is not a whitepaper promise.
It is the actual subsidy logic made visible.
The graceful decay — and the truths inside it.
Interchained’s issuance moves through four major phases:
1. Ramp-up
2. Peak reward
3. Exponential decay
4. Permanent floor
The important part:
Interchained does not decay to zero.
Instead, the block reward eventually settles at a permanent floor:
0.10301990 ITC per block
That means ITC keeps a protocol-level miner incentive even after the main emission curve matures.
Bitcoin heads toward zero subsidy.
Interchained heads toward a floor.
That is the monetary-policy difference.
Why this matters:
Proof-of-work chains need miners.
A chain that trends to zero subsidy eventually depends almost entirely on transaction fees for security. Interchained takes a different path: the reward decays gracefully, but it does not disappear.
The floor exists so miners are never asked to secure the chain on hope alone.
The truth inside the code:
The page also shows something most projects would hide:
The subsidy comment says the ramp moves from:
0.678 → 1.5 ITC
But the actual code produces:
0.678 → 2.178 ITC
Then the next phase clamps the reward into the peak period.
We are showing that openly because Interchained is built around verifiable logic.
Not brochure economics.
Not vague tokenomics.
Not “trust us.”

SHORT DISCORD / X VERSION:
ANN: Interchained Block Subsidy — The Graceful Decay
We just launched a live explorer for ITC’s block subsidy curve:
subsidy.interchained.org/
It shows the actual reward logic from the code: ramp-up, peak, exponential decay, and the permanent floor.
The key distinction:
Bitcoin heads toward zero.
Interchained heads toward a floor.
ITC eventually settles at:
0.10301990 ITC per block
A permanent minimum subsidy for long-term miner incentives.
