$RIO Supply and Emission Schedule
The Network Upgrade Proposal successfully passed on 14th October.
In response, the team shared the new 40-year block reward and emission schedule on the Official Discord.
Here is the key change👇
🔹New Max Supply: 175m
🔹Emissions: 8% of the remaining supply per year.
But here’s why you don’t need to worry 👇
1⃣ It will take approx. 38 years to reach this. That's right—38 years, meaning the increase is spread over a long period.
2⃣ In the next 12-24 months, the circulating supply increase will be minimal:
🔹Circulating Supply (CS): approx. 57m
🔹By April 2025, CS will reach 60M
$RIO.
🔹By April 2026, CS will hit 69.2M
$RIO.
This is a small increase in the grand scheme, with only ~3M tokens added over the next few months.
3⃣ No Impact on the Upcoming Bull Cycle
The slight increase over the next 12 months will almost certainly not affect price action during this bull cycle.
In fact, with daily trading volume at ~$13M (and likely to rise), the market will easily absorb this supply.
4⃣ High Demand + Deflationary Mechanics
$RIO has several deflationary mechanisms built into its ecosystem.
For example, 20% of tokens used in Land Sales (Districts) will be burned, and the remaining 80% will be locked as liquidity—further reducing circulating supply.

Bottom Line:
I understand that some may feel concerned about the increase in max supply.
It’s important to acknowledge that, but now that the numbers are public, the reality shows that the impact will be minimal — especially for anyone holding for this cycle.
🔹 In the next 12-24 months, the supply increase is small, with just ~3M tokens added by April 2025.
🔹 Beyond this bull cycle, the emissions are spread over 38 years, meaning the impact on the market will remain gradual and manageable.
With high demand, strong daily trading volume, and the built-in deflationary mechanisms,
$RIO is well-positioned not just for this bull cycle but for the long-term health of the ecosystem.
