Emissions & Staking Rewards

SocialBlock uses a decaying, reputation-corrected emissions model to distribute $SBLK over time. This ensures early adoption is rewarded, long-term sustainability is prioritized, and quality participation is favored over capital-only behavior.

🧮 Emission Function

Annual emissions follow an exponential decay curve adjusted by the network-wide average reputation score:

$$E(t)=B0∗e(−λt)∗Rˉ(t)E(t) = B₀ * e^(-λt) * R̄(t) E(t)=B0​∗e(−λt)∗Rˉ(t)$$

Where:

• E(t) = Emissions allocated in year t

• B₀ = Initial base emission (e.g. 25,000,000 SBLK in Year 1)

• λ = Decay constant (e.g. 0.10 for ~10% annual decrease)

• R̄(t) = Network-wide average validator reputation (bounded 0.5–1.5)

This model:

• Encourages early validators and users to participate

• Allows the network to self-correct (e.g. emissions fall if trust decays)

• Makes AI trust scores core to economic throughput

🎯 Emission Pool Distribution

Pool	% of Annual Emission	Purpose
Validator Block Rewards	40%	Reward block proposers and co-signers
Stake-Based Yield	25%	Delegators and stakers of $SBLK
Rep-Based Community Rewards	25%	Chat-to-earn, trend engagement, missions
DAO Discretionary Pool	10%	Voted on by the DAO for growth incentives

Unallocated or unused emissions each epoch are burned or re-allocated by governance based on protocol state.
