How a halving is built

The condition is written into the coin itself: having counted off the required number of blocks, the network reduces the reward by half. New coins start appearing at half the rate — and that is how issuance runs up against its limit.

Where the word "approximately" comes from

The event is counted in blocks, not on a calendar. We look at the current height, take the average block length over the past day and work out how long the remainder will take. Blocks arrive unevenly — the date drifts by several days, which is why it is recounted every hour.

Halvings: short answers

Which coin gets its halving first?

Litecoin — the reference point is Jul 22, 2027, with 152,717 blocks to go. The reward falls from 6.25 to 3.125 LTC.

Which coins are due a halving at all?

Among our directions these are Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Zcash (ZEC). All of them are built on the Bitcoin pattern: the issuance limit is set rigidly and the reward halves on schedule. No limit means no halving either.

Why does the date keep shifting?

The count runs in blocks, not in days. The more power is connected to the network, the faster blocks close — and the reference point moves several days one way or the other.

Does a halving affect the price?

It trims the inflow of fresh coins, but the price is made up of far more than that. Past halvings promise nothing in advance; this is not investment advice.
