It's a personal CRC Issuance. Every user generates 1 CRC per hour.
These CRCs can be collected retroactively for up to 14 days. If a user does not collect for more than 14 days, any older uncollected issuance expires.
During collection, a burn fee applies.
Why?
Circles uses a fixed issuance rate of 1 CRC per hour for two key reasons:
1. Predictability & Simplicity
The issuance rate is easy to understand:
Your balance increases at a stable, constant pace.
This predictability helps:
Keep the system transparent
Make user expectations clear
Maintain economic stability
2. Fairness Across a Lifetime
Over roughly 80 years (a typical human lifetime), the hourly issuance adds up to about 120,000 CRC.
This creates:
A natural lifetime economic footprint
A built-in upper limit tied to participation, not wealth
Equal opportunity for all users, no matter when they join
By linking money creation to time, Circles ensures fairness and equal access for everyone in the network.
