# End Of Builders Phase

### <mark style="color:purple;">Legacy's Finite Supply</mark>

As we said before, Legacy has Bitcoin-like tokenomics and here is another one - programmed inflation that reaches 0. What does it mean? It means, you won't be able to hire Legacy builders forever. At some point in time, the **dailyMintableLegacy** will reach 0. The **dailyMintableLegacy** starts at 100 and works it way down to 0. Once this happens the function that allows you to hire new builder will stop working.&#x20;

This is huge since Legacy 💎 has been created to become a sound store of value and finite supply is a must-have property of such an asset. Creating a finite supply is going to maximise the value of Legacy for token holders.&#x20;

Bitcoin has a similar mechanism - it's called halving event. *Fun Fact*: It is said that last Bitcoin will be mined around the **year 2140.** Fortunately, you won't have to wait that long with Legacy. It is estimated that last builder will be hired in **year** **2028**, which is coincidentally, the 3rd year of 4 year crypto cycle. Historically, the 4th year has been the bull run year which has seen huge green candles on most of the cryptocurrencies. Having a fixed supply token like Legacy during those periods could indicate great potential for expanding further the monetary energy that you stored in Legacy protocol. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgU5eqAFc-k) is Michael Saylor expanding on the idea of monetary energy and laws of thermodynamics.&#x20;

However, there is one condition that has to be met in order for **dailyMintableLegacy** to reach &#x30;**.** There has to be minimum of **21,000,000** Legacy tokens minted by builders first in order to conclude the Builders Phase and for **dailyMintableLegacy** to reach 0. If this condition is not met, the Builders Phase will be extended by one day as long as the Legacy supply minted by builders is under 21,000,000 tokens.&#x20;

### <mark style="color:purple;">**The Calculation for reducing the new Legacy supply coming in is:**</mark>&#x20;

**`(dailyMintableLegacy * dailySupplyReduction)`**

where *dailySupplyReduction* is reducing the *dailyMintableLegacy* by 0,35% every day. *dailyMintableLegacy* starts at 100 and goes down to 0 within approximately 4 years.&#x20;
