Supply accounting reaches beyond claimed balances

Xai administrator Diablo explained why a fixed emission-halving date was difficult to state: XAI and esXAI supply changes with issuance, redemption choices and fee burning. The reply did not provide a dated forecast. For supply modeling, these are separate flows with different drivers; a transaction count alone cannot determine the net change without the associated fees and redemption behavior.

A further, edited reply said Arbiscan's esXAI balance view excluded unclaimed esXAI and pointed to getCombinedTotalSupply for the combined measure. That is a concrete coverage issue, not a reason to add every visible balance indiscriminately. A reproducible supply estimate must define which claimed and unclaimed amounts it includes and avoid counting the same entitlement twice.
