Episode description
Alephium is the first operational sharded blockchain focusing on scalability and smart contracts while delivering enhanced performance and energy efficiency. Just like Bitcoin, designed with a maximum cap of 21 million, Alephium is created with a maximum supply of 1 billion.
While Bitcoin undergoes halving every four years to create scarcity and maintain its value, Alephium undergoes emission. Alephium emission is similar to other cryptocurrency’s halving events. However, unlike halving events scheduled at a particular time, Alephium’s emission schedule depends on the network hash rate and time stamp. Thus, Alephium mining rewards are adjusted with each block.
