⚠ Critical Assumption

All USD values assume a flat price of $0.0314/KAS. In reality, the security budget depends on future price action and growing transaction fees, which are expected to eventually replace block rewards as the primary security incentive. By 2030, approximately 99% of the 28.7 billion KAS max supply will have been mined.
