DECOUPLED MINING & RESEARCH REWARDS WITH INDEPENDENT HALVING SCHEDULES
> UNDERSTANDING THE DUAL REWARDS SYSTEM
Etica features a unique dual rewards system where mining and research rewards follow separate halving schedules. Mining rewards are distributed to miners securing the network, while research rewards fund the open-source medical research ecosystem. Both systems start with generous rewards that halve over time at different intervals based on their issuance.

> HOW THE DECOUPLED HALVING SYSTEM WORKS
Etica's unique system uses two separate thresholds for halving mining and research rewards. Mining halvings are triggered when specific amounts of ETI have been distributed to miners. Research halvings follow their own schedule based on the amount of ETI distributed through the research system. This creates a more resilient and balanced ecosystem where delays in one system don't impact the other.
