Halving History & Schedule
TAO follows Bitcoin's deflationary issuance model — emissions halve every ~4 years
Network launched. Full emissions to bootstrap miners and validators.
First halving completed. Daily emissions permanently cut to 3,600 TAO.
Next halving. Emissions drop to 1,800 TAO/day as scarcity deepens.
Third halving. Only 900 TAO minted per day.
Fourth halving. Supply growth approaches its asymptote.
Why the Halving Matters
Three structural effects every TAO holder should understand
Scarcity Effect
Each halving permanently cuts the rate of new TAO entering circulation. With demand growing and supply issuance shrinking, basic economics points to upward price pressure — the same structural force that has driven Bitcoin's appreciation over time.
Historical BTC Pattern
Bitcoin's halvings in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 each preceded a major bull market. Supply shocks of this nature take months to fully reprice as the market absorbs the new issuance reality. TAO is following an identical schedule.
Staking Yield Impact
As block rewards halve, staking APY compresses in nominal TAO terms. However, if TAO's price rises to reflect the reduced supply growth — as it did post-Halving 1 — real yields can remain attractive for early stakers.

Position before the next halving
Stack TAO or stake it to earn yield while emissions are still at 3,600/day.
