What is LASER?
Native coin of Laserchain. Atomic unit is the photon: 1 LASER = 10⁹ photons. All consensus amounts are integer photons (no floating point in consensus).
Emission curve (consensus)
Cap
137,000,000 LASER (nod to the fine-structure constant ≈ 1/137)
Schedule
reward(h) = R₀ · 2−h / 12,614,400

Half-life
12,614,400 blocks ≈ 4 years at 10s/block
Shape
Smooth exponential decay — economically like halvings without step shocks
Who gets coins
Miners (and any protocol-coded skims). No ICO / founder premine of spendable supply

Litepaper economics (intent)
- Emission is smooth exponential decay (no discrete Bitcoin-style halvings).
- Supply is mining-only: no presale, no founder allocation, no premine of spendable coins.
- Litepaper §8: fees use burn-plus-tip at maturity; Beta may not implement fee burn fully.
- Hardware-grant skim (litepaper §9) is design intent — confirm against live consensus code.
