**Emission Schedule**

The initial design assumed an initial heavy distribution period that would see 22.5% of the supply minted in the first three months. The speed of emission would be halved after the first three months, and continue to do so every 9 months until August 2026. Thus, the rewardsPerSecond parameter of ALB emission would scale as follows:

The plan assumed an initial circulating supply of 25 million ALB, which due to early sniper and community interest became impossible to add to the fair launch liquidity pool.
The plan assumed an initial circulating supply of 25 million ALB, which, due to early sniping and strong community interest, could not be added to the fair launch liquidity pool.

After three weeks of the initial distribution schedule, the community and team have agreed to reduce emission by 46% to 4% total supply every month, or 8 ALB per second: [https://snapshot.org/#/alienbase-dex.eth/proposal/0x56c418fd7f7fd365b0beba44389807941e3150fb376179ac758fb497f04a999b](https://snapshot.org/#/alienbase-dex.eth/proposal/0x56c418fd7f7fd365b0beba44389807941e3150fb376179ac758fb497f04a999b)
After three weeks of the initial distribution schedule, the community and team agreed to reduce the emission to approximately 4% of total supply per month (a ~46% reduction), equivalent to 8 ALB per second: [https://snapshot.org/#/alienbase-dex.eth/proposal/0x56c418fd7f7fd365b0beba44389807941e3150fb376179ac758fb497f04a999b](https://snapshot.org/#/alienbase-dex.eth/proposal/0x56c418fd7f7fd365b0beba44389807941e3150fb376179ac758fb497f04a999b)

The future schedule remains unchanged for now, with a planned reduction to 7.5 ALB per second in November.

The total minted after 36 months will be approximately 75.3% of the total supply. Thus after three years the total supply will be as follows:

| | | |
| ------------ | --------- | - |
| Initial Mint | 5.1% | |
| Farming | 75.3% | |
| **Total** | **80.4%** | |
| Category | Percentage |
| ------------ | ---------- |
| Initial Mint | 5.1% |
| Farming | 75.3% |
| **Total** | **80.4%** |

The remaining 19.6% of the supply can be theoretically minted through a DAO decision should the need arise. The supply schedule can be changed pending DAO decision, including steeper reductions of the farming rewards if the protocol reaches sustainability before the expected time frame.

The team currently **cannot mint tokens** without going through a total 14 day time lock (farming emissions parameters are likewise timelocked for 7 days).

**Initial Supply Timelock & Token Distribution**

The initial 25 million tokens (\~5% of the total supply) that could not be placed in liquidity were directed to a timelock contract as a temporary measure.

Of the current farming emissions, 15% of the tokens minted are reserved to the team as an operating budget and reserve. Another 15% is reserved to the DAO and marketing initiatives that bring the protocol forward.

To support operations, the team has announced that up to 600,000 ALB per month can be devoted to cover salaries for development and incentivization.
