Daily issuance is the net number of new coins added to the supply each day — block rewards minted, minus any coins burned — drawn as one continuous line from the original Proof-of-Work chain into QRL 2.0. On the Proof-of-Work chain this is the mining block reward, which decays over time; on QRL 2.0 (Proof-of-Stake) it is validator issuance minus the EIP-1559 base-fee burn, so a heavy-usage day can even be net-negative (deflationary).

Common questions about this page+
What does daily issuance show?
It shows how many new coins were added to the total supply on each day: the block rewards minted minus any coins burned. It is the rate of new-coin creation — the derivative of the cumulative supply curve — and the most direct view of how fast the money supply is growing.
Why does Proof-of-Work issuance fall over time?
The original Proof-of-Work chain uses an exponential-decay emission schedule, and QIP-16 cut the per-block reward to 40% at block 1,938,000. So the daily mined amount started high (~10,000 QRL/day at launch) and declines toward the 105M max-supply cap — visible as the downward-sloping Proof-of-Work segment.
Can daily issuance be negative on QRL 2.0?
Yes. QRL 2.0 (Proof-of-Stake) mints validator rewards but also burns the EIP-1559 base fee of every transaction. On a day where more is burned than minted, net issuance is negative — the supply shrinks that day (deflationary), the same “ultrasound money” dynamic seen on other EIP-1559 chains. The Proof-of-Work chain has no burn, so its line is always positive.
How is this different from inflation rate?
Daily issuance is an absolute coin amount; the inflation rate expresses that same issuance as an annualized percentage of the total supply. Issuance can stay roughly flat while the inflation rate falls, simply because the supply it is measured against keeps growing.
