Inflation Schedule¶
Controlled inflation funds staking rewards, offset by buyback & burn:
| Year | Inflation | Emission |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 5% | 50,000,000 NJORD |
| Year 2 | 4% | 40,000,000 NJORD |
| Year 3 | 3% | 30,000,000 NJORD |
| Year 4 | 2% | 20,000,000 NJORD |
| Year 5+ | 1% | 10,000,000 NJORD |
Target: net-neutral or deflationary after Year 3
20% of protocol fees fund buyback & burn, creating natural demand tied to protocol usage.
