Block frequency: 10 minute average.
PoW Algorithm: SHA-256 (merge-mined with Bitcoin).
PoW block reward: 5020 EMC, decreasing according to PoW difficulty.

Formula: Reward = 5020 / sqrt(sqrt(difficulty))
PoS reward: Approx. 6% pa.
PoS stake-weight maturity: 30 days.
Max. stake-weight: 90 days.
Difficulty adjustment: Recalculated each block. Adjustment gradually increases over time to favor PoS minting.
