How it works...
Ravencoin features a mathematical programmatic issuance deflation architecture modeled directly after Bitcoin. Block rewards automatically slash by exactly 50% for every 2,100,000 blocks written to the public ledger structure until block rewards can no longer be divided cleanly.
Network Halving Chronology
- Genesis Launch (Jan 2018)5,000 RVN / Block
- 1st Halving Event (Block 2,100,000 - Jan 2022)2,500 RVN / Block
- 2nd Halving Event (Block 4,200,000 - Jan 2026)1,250 RVN / Block
- 3rd Halving Target (Block 6,300,000 - Approx 2030)625 RVN / Block
How many days is 2,100,000 blocks?
Exactly 2,100,000 blocks equates to 1,458.3333 days when maintaining baseline 60-second block targets.
What is that in calendar years?
1,458.3333 / 365.25 = 3.992699 Years (accounting neatly for standard leap year drift sequences).
How accurate are those exact dates?
Timelines adapt dynamically based on block metrics rather than static calendar parameters. Sudden jumps in global network hashrate cause blocks to solve faster temporarily before difficulty correction matrices normalize intervals, pushing actual halving steps slightly ahead of long-term calendar projections.
