Distribution so far
Every token exists from genesis, held inside the pools. It is released only as participants earn it for verified work.

Emission schedule
The timeline is structured into Eras and Epochs. One Era is 1,152,000 blocks, about six months. One Epoch is 12 Eras, about six years. After each Epoch, the tokens emitted per Era are halved.
Currently in Era 3, Epoch 1
Share of a pool emitted per Epoch
Each Epoch releases half of what remains, so a pool approaches — but never fully reaches — its full allocation.
How rewards are shared
Within each pool, the emission for an Era is split between active users by level. You raise your level by doing the role's work: inspectors per completed inspection, researchers per published research, regenerators by the trees and species recorded in their inspections, and so on.
your reward for an Era = ( your level ÷ the total level of your role ) × the pool's emission for that Era
Offset and the path to deflation
The token's core utility is environmental compensation. Retiring a credit burns it — permanently removing it from supply — and returns a contribution certificate. As emissions halve and adoption grows the burn rate, the tokens burned can exceed the tokens emitted, moving the system from an inflationary phase to a deflationary one.
