Supply and emission
Bitcoin Cash inherits Bitcoin's 21 million cap and halving-based block subsidy, defined in the node software's consensus parameters. Because the chain split from a shared ledger in 2017, every coin mined before the split exists on both chains. There is no premine specific to Bitcoin Cash, no protocol foundation allocation, and no staking. Halvings are triggered by block height, so no dated unlock schedule can be derived from a primary source.
