Hello,

I have read many different things on this topic, on this forum, but also on other website, but I unable to find someone that can explain me clearly the ethereum supplying rule.

For Bitcoin, this is very simple :
- x BTC every 10min
- x = 50 BTC, and x=x/2 every 4 years (halving every 210,000 blocks)

With this, you can clearly estimate the number of bitcoin at any time in the past, or in the future (modulo the block time which is not exactly 10min)

But what about ethereum ?  As I understand, there is no halving, so ethereum are created without limit... Ok but Vitalik said the opposite by saying that the hard cap of ethereum supply is near 100M.

What is the truth ?
