# Token Deflation Model Photon tokens have a half-life. Each time the half-life comes, the emission rate of the photon token will decrease by 50%, and the time for the next half-life will double. The initial emission rate is 1 and the initial half-life is 24 hours. Therefore, the total amount of photon tokens produced during each half-life period is constant. At a rate of one block every three seconds, a total of 22,600 photons are produced during each half-life. This mechanism will greatly reduce the total supply and make our token rarer. The following charts are comparisons of the total supply and emission rate between Original Finance and normal yield farms with a fixed emission rate (1 token/block). ![](/files/-MXcCh5EMu2oh5y51Y6C) ![](/files/-MXcCko56zNWG3fOwaEQ) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
