Supply release: when does the rest arrive?
No maximum supplyThere is no release date — NEAR has no maximum supply.
New NEAR is issued indefinitely under the network's own rules, so there is no point at which issuance finishes and no final total to count down to. Long-run scarcity depends on the issuance rate — and on any burning that offsets it — rather than on a hard cap.
