Harmony is planning the launch with a pre-mine of 12.6 billion tokens, CoinDesk writes. Currently, a bit over 2.8 billion tokens has been bought by the investors. The rest may be used as incentives to early adopters of the Harmony blockchain. When the network launches, proof-of-stake nodes “will be compensated with an as-yet-undetermined rate of inflation.” With time, the inflation rate should decrease.
