The GeoMine Halving Schedule Explained
How the halving schedule works and why early miners benefit most.
GeoMine uses a halving emission schedule inspired by proven scarcity models. Here's what that means and why it matters for early miners.
What Is Halving?
Halving means the mining rewards are cut in half at regular intervals. GeoMine halves every year, creating faster scarcity and rewarding those who join earliest.
The Numbers
| Year | Daily Emission | Annual Emission | Cumulative % of Total Pool |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | ~273,972 | 100,000,000 | 25% |
| Year 2 | ~136,986 | 50,000,000 | 37.5% |
| Year 3 | ~68,493 | 25,000,000 | 43.75% |
| Year 4 | ~34,246 | 12,500,000 | 46.9% |
| Year 5+ | Decreasing | Decreasing | → 100% |
Why This Matters
In Year 1, 100 million coins are distributed to miners. A user who mines consistently in Year 1 earns 4x more coins per session than the same user doing the same activity in Year 3.
The Scarcity Effect
As fewer new coins enter circulation each year:
- Supply growth slows dramatically
- Each coin becomes proportionally more valuable
- Early miners hold a larger share of total coins
Future Value
When GeoMine reaches 1 million users, coins will become convertible to cryptocurrency. Miners who accumulated coins early — at the highest emission rates — will benefit the most from this transition.
The Bottom Line
If you're considering using GeoMine, there's a significant incentive to start now rather than later. Year 1 miners will have earned coins at rates that future users can never access.
