LTC · steady miner emission until the 2027 halving.
Pure proof-of-work. 84M hard cap with ~77M already mined (~92%). Block reward 6.25 LTC at a 2.5-minute block time ≈ 324K LTC per 90 days. Empty buy ledger — no protocol buyback, no fee burn, no Foundation accumulation. The next halving cuts the rate in half at block 3,360,000 (~July 2027), outside this window.

No team vesting or scheduled unlock. Litecoin launched fair-launch with no premine.
Litecoin Foundation holdings exist but are not separately disclosed as a wallet registry. No on-record Foundation market-sale programme. Treated as 0 with monitored note.
No bankruptcy estate. No protocol-level long-term lock mechanism.
No revenue-funded protocol buyback. Miner rewards fund security; there is no protocol-level mechanism that buys LTC back from market.
All transaction fees are paid to miners. No EIP-1559-style base-fee burn on Litecoin.
No on-record Litecoin Foundation accumulation programme.
No protocol-level long-term lock mechanism. MWEB locks LTC into private extension blocks during transit but lets it return to the base layer — not a one-way lock.
