I am going through the entire $Qubic's whitepaper, and in this post, I wanted to focus on the following section: 5.1.2 Emission Phases

It's a long read inside the whitepaper, but I compressed it so it's easy to read and digest. Enjoy!

QUBIC Coin Emission Model:

- Scheduled Emissions, Burns, and Halvings: Managed by the 'Supply Watcher' - a smart contract for real-time control.
- Economic Model: Combines emission schedules with deflationary mechanisms for stability, based on controlled issuance

Emission Phases:
1. Bootstrapping (Years 1-2): 
- High emission rate of 1 trillion QUBIC per week to boost early adoption.
2. Stabilization (Years 3-5): 
- Burns start at 15% of emissions from epoch 123. 
- Halvings every 52 epochs increase burn rate, reducing net supply while base emissions remain at 1 trillion/week.
- Supply Watcher dynamically adjusts burn rates for stability, e.g., 15% burn in Epoch 123, removing 149 billion QUBIC.
3. Sustainability (Year 6+):
- Minimal emissions with burn rate exceeding emission, leading to net supply reduction.
- Focus on scarcity, with Supply Watcher adjusting burns to prevent excessive deflation, enhancing QUBIC's value.

Notes:
The emission schedule is dynamic, adapting to ecosystem changes via the Supply Watcher.
Emission and burn rates are estimates, allowing flexibility to respond to network conditions and ensuring balanced supply reduction. 

Interesting fact: Qubic's emission model is inspired by the Bitcoin halving
strategy, but it adds flexibility thanks to the Supply Watcher and burn
mechanisms. While Bitcoin decreases emissions through strict halving every four
years, Qubic allows for an adaptation of the burn rate depending on the current
state of the network.
