👛NEXU Minting Rate

Starting at 0.33 NEXU Per Block on XDC (2 second block time) that gradually and exponentially decreases by 0.555% approximately every 200,000 blocks (5-10 days). Making token minting deflationary over time similar to the Bitcoin Halving mechanism. (Minting Rates may be modified in the future.)

The NexusGenerator is the main Contract that has the ability to mint $NEXU as rewards for LP Stakers and Multi-Stakers. There is no other way $NEXU can be minted (NEXU may be minted by other smart contracts in future updated versions of the Nexus). An Ownership Slot of the $NEXU Token contract is given to the NexusGenerator Contract. Maximum of 1.1B to ever exist, programmed into the contract. 🔥The fees from some trading pairs (like WXDC/NEXU) are used to buy and burn NEXU daily making the supply long term deflationary.

Some NEXU may be minted by other smart contracts in the future, such as Governance/DAO smart contracts, or future versions of Nexus.
