**100% of emissions go to gauges**, there are no team emissions or other distributions. Full decentralization of the emission distribution is the main priority.

There is a 1% exponential decay week over week, reducing emissions in perpetuity.

The formula to calculate an Epoch's emissions is:

$$
Emissions{(t)} = E\_{0}\ \*\ (e^{-rt})
\ \ \ t = Epochs \ E\_{0} = 50,000\ -r = decay \ coefficient
$$

Alternatively, a user can calculate the emissions for an epoch based on the previous, as such:

$$
Emissions(epoch(N)) \ = Emissions(N-1)  \ \* (1.00-decay)
$$
