This section defines DBT supply, allocations, and the token release schedule
Supply Overview
Total Supply at Genesis (minted at TGE): 4,840,030,000 DBT
Max Supply: 10,000,000,000 DBT
Genesis supply represents tokens minted at TGE across non-emission allocations. Max supply includes long-term emissions.
The relationship is:
Where:
S_genesis = 4,840,030,000
S_max = 10,000,000,000
S_emissions = 5,159,970,000

Circulating Supply at TGE
Circulating supply at TGE is defined as the subset of genesis-minted tokens that are unlocked and transferable at TGE.
Circulating Supply at TGE: 314,527,168.33 DBT
Circulating % at TGE (total): ~ 3.14% of total supply.
Release Schedule Summary
The release schedule is defined in epochs (monthly). Below is a summary of when each bucket begins releasing and when it completes its release within the modeled horizon.
Note: Emission rewards continue beyond the modeled monthly horizon, with a remaining “thereafter” balance.

Emission Rewards and Long-Term Supply
Estimated Validator / Emission Rewards are distributed over time and represent the largest share of total supply.
Total Emission Allocation: 5,159,970,000 DBT
Emissions follow a 10% annual decay.
Annual decay model:
Within the modeled horizon, a portion of emissions unlocks monthly, and the remaining balance is represented as a “thereafter” allocation to complete the max supply schedule
Summary
DBT supply is designed such that:
Non-emission allocations are fully scheduled within the modeled horizon
Emissions continue over a longer period with 10% annual decay
Circulating supply at TGE is materially lower than total genesis supply due to vesting
