# Primary Emission
How Primary Emissions work
**Primary Emissions**
The primary emissions pool is designed to align with DUCAT’s long-term vision by rewarding ecosystem contributors proportionally to their engagement over time. The emission rate decreases progressively, ensuring longevity and sustainability.
* **Emission Rule**:\
The number of tokens emitted on day n is proportional to the fraction of remaining tokens in the pool:
$$
\text{Tokens at Day } n = \frac{n}{100000} \times \text{Remaining Pool Tokens}
$$
This creates a decaying emission model, where the distribution rate slows as the pool diminishes, incentivizing earlier contributions while maintaining reserves for future growth.
* **Key Benefits**:
* Encourages early adoption and participation.
* Creates a long-tail emission structure, ensuring token availability for sustained development.
