Dear list, This BIP proposes a consensus rule update to implement a strict circular economy within the Bitcoin network, keeping the 21 million maximum supply limit permanently intact. An expiration limit is introduced for Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs). UTXOs that exceed a maximum age threshold of `MAX_UTXO_AGE` (e.g., 1,048,576 blocks) will be deemed invalid for spending and pruned from the nodes' active Chainstate database. The nominal value of these expired satoshis will not be injected into immediate block rewards. Instead, they will be reintroduced into the pending emission reserve, dynamically extending the duration of halving epochs to guarantee a perpetual block subsidy without adding inflation. https://github.com/bip-proposer/bitcoin-infinity/blob/main/infinity.md I appreciate discussion on this proposal.
