The first 200 million transactions each rewarded 6 INVEs (issued a total of S1 = 1.2 billion), the 200 millionth to the 600 millionth transaction rewards 3 INVEs (distributed total S2 = 1.2 billion), the 600 millionth Transaction to the 1 billionth transaction, each reward is 1.5 INVE (distribution total S3 = 600 million). The 1 billionth transaction to the 2 billionth transaction, each reward 1.5 INVE (distribution total S4 = 1.5 billion), followed by halving awards for every 1 billion transaction.
