Supply and emission
Ada issuance is governed by Cardano's published monetary policy. Staking rewards accrue each epoch and are funded from protocol reserves rather than open-ended minting, calculated from stake delegated to each pool and adjusted for pool performance and operator fees. Delegation does not lock ada. RampAtlas could not fetch the monetary policy page as of September 2026, so no supply cap, reserve figure, or dated unlock schedule is asserted here.
