After the midnight mainnet launch an important phase will start where the $NIGHT tokens held in reserve will be gradually distributed as rewards.
These rewards will be given to those people who secure and run system by producing blocks in the network.
This means that as the network grows, block producers will continue to receive #night rewards according to the protocol rules.
But the most interesting thing is that these tokens will not be newly minted, but will be distributed from the supply already present in reserve.
And when this reserve is completely distributed, the circulating supply will be exactly equal to the total supply.
After that, the rules of the protocol guarantee that no night tokens will ever be created.
This means the supply will become permanently fixed, which creates a strong scarcity and value proposition for the ecosystem in the long term.
