• Well, I think I am a big user and I have missed the last update, oops. In any case, it could could reduce supply or be used in contests, etc... but it does not reduce emissions automatically.
• I did not understand it that way. I don't think these are LEO bought on the market. Also, as Hive curation is 8-10% max, that is still an extra 6-8% APR paid in LEO and emitted.

Thanks for your answer!
