# Emission Reduction In order to make sure the project last, the minting rate needs to be reduced eventually to ensure that inflation does not sink the token's value. By implementing a function that will automatically reduce the minting rate every 8 hours by 8%, the native token will be able to cope with the harvesting pressure over time since the minting rate is reduced. This will continues until the minting rate reduces to 0.1 per block. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://eagleswapdefi.gitbook.io/eagleswap/features/emission-reduction.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
