Halving: what it comes down to

The rule is wired into the code of the coin: 840,000 blocks pass and the block reward is cut in half. New LTC appears at a slower pace until issuance runs up against its limit of 84 M LTC.

How we arrive at the date

We count from the number of blocks remaining and the average block length over the past day (~2.7 min). Blocks arrive unevenly, so the estimate drifts by several days: the halving waits for block 3,360,000, and the calendar has nothing to do with it.
