The total supply of PI will consist of three parts: mining rewards, proliferation rewards, and developer rewards. The mining rewards will decrease over time until they eventually disappear. If the total number of network participants does not increase, PI will be continuously minted in unlimited quantities. However, once the total number of participants reaches a certain threshold, mining rewards will decrease, leading to a deflationary effect on the issuance of PI, making it harder to acquire. This design incentivizes both users and token holders to continually bring in new users until mining rewards reach zero. This will significantly benefit the security and decentralization of governance when the mainnet launches. Developer rewards will also be generated through mining but, unlike many "pre-mining" projects, the mining process for Pi Network’s developer rewards is designed to dynamically adjust with user proliferation, growing alongside the networks expansion.
