Stake Subsidies

1,000,000,000 SUI tokens are locked as stake subsidies. These are distributed starting in epoch 2, with 1,000,000 SUI distributed in each of the initial 10 epochs. Subsequently, the subsidy amount will fall by 10% and remain constant for the next 10 epochs. This pattern will repeat itself until all subsidies are unlocked and distributed.
