It is a deliberate choice — aligned with the **estimated global population in 2025**. **70% of the total token supply** is reserved for health data mining and contributor incentives.\ These tokens are **not pre-minted** and are released gradually based on verified data contribution, protocol participation, and network growth dynamics. To balance early participation incentives with long-term value preservation: * Token emissions follow a **progressive release curve**, preventing short-term oversupply. * The emission rate is designed to **decrease over time**, reinforcing long-term scarcity as the network matures. * Unclaimed or inactive rewards may be subject to protocol-level rebalancing mechanisms to maintain circulation efficiency. The remaining **30% of the token supply** is allocated to early backers, the core team and advisors, and the DNAi Foundation, all subject to long-term vesting and lock-up schedules to ensure sustained commitment to the ecosystem.
