The supply schedule is the rulebook for how many MLRT exist over time, and because Malairte is open source, you can read it directly rather than relying on a summary. This guide shows where to look and how to interpret what you find.
Step 1: Locate the emission code
In the node source, find the section that defines the block reward and how it changes. It is usually a function that takes the block height and returns the reward for that block. This is the heart of the supply schedule.
Step 2: Identify the base block reward
Note the starting reward paid per block at the beginning of the chain. This is the figure that drives early emission. Write it down; you will use it to reconcile supply later.
Step 3: Find the halving or taper interval
Look for the interval at which the reward drops, whether by halving or by another defined step. Note the block height at which each reduction occurs. This shapes the emission curve from steep early issuance to a slower tail.
Step 4: Check for a maximum supply
Determine whether the schedule caps total supply. Some chains define a hard cap; others taper toward an asymptote. Confirm which model Malairte uses and what the eventual ceiling is.
Step 5: Confirm the block interval
The target time between blocks sets the real-world pace of issuance. Combine it with the block reward to estimate how much MLRT is emitted per day at the current height.
Step 6: Reconcile against the live chain
Use a block explorer to read the current block height and reported circulating supply. Apply the schedule (base reward, halvings to date) to the height and confirm the totals line up. Agreement means the schedule in the code is the schedule the network actually enforces.
Reading it responsibly
The schedule tells you about quantity and timing of coins, not about value. Use it to understand the mechanics of emission and to confirm that issuance is fixed and predictable. That understanding is what makes the fair-launch claim concrete rather than abstract.
