# State

### State Objects <a href="#state-objects" id="state-objects"></a>

The `x/inflation` module keeps the following objects in state:

| State Object       | Description                    | Key         | Value                        | Store |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------ | ----------- | ---------------------------- | ----- |
| Period             | Period Counter                 | `[]byte{1}` | `[]byte{period}`             | KV    |
| EpochMintProvision | Epoch mint provision bytes     | `[]byte{2}` | `[]byte{epochMintProvision}` | KV    |
| EpochIdentifier    | Epoch identifier bytes         | `[]byte{3}` | `[]byte{epochIdentifier}`    | KV    |
| EpochsPerPeriod    | Epochs per period bytes        | `[]byte{4}` | `[]byte{epochsPerPeriod}`    | KV    |
| SkippedEpochs      | Number of skipped epochs bytes | `[]byte{5}` | `[]byte{skippedEpochs}`      | KV    |

#### Period <a href="#period" id="period"></a>

Counter to keep track of amount of past periods, based on the epochs per period.

#### EpochMintProvision <a href="#epochmintprovision" id="epochmintprovision"></a>

Amount of tokens that are allocated for exponention inflation each epoch.

#### EpochIdentifier <a href="#epochidentifier" id="epochidentifier"></a>

Identifier to trigger epoch hooks.

#### EpochsPerPeriod <a href="#epochsperperiod" id="epochsperperiod"></a>

Amount of epochs in one period

### Genesis State <a href="#genesis-state" id="genesis-state"></a>

The `x/inflation` module's `GenesisState` defines the state necessary for initializing the chain from a previously exported height. It contains the module parameters and the list of active incentives and their corresponding gas meters:

```go
type GenesisState struct {
	// params defines all the paramaters of the module.
	Params Params `protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=params,proto3" json:"params"`
	// amount of past periods, based on the epochs per period param
	Period uint64 `protobuf:"varint,2,opt,name=period,proto3" json:"period,omitempty"`
	// inflation epoch identifier
	EpochIdentifier string `protobuf:"bytes,3,opt,name=epoch_identifier,json=epochIdentifier,proto3" json:"epoch_identifier,omitempty"`
	// number of epochs after which inflation is recalculated
	EpochsPerPeriod int64 `protobuf:"varint,4,opt,name=epochs_per_period,json=epochsPerPeriod,proto3" json:"epochs_per_period,omitempty"`
	// number of epochs that have passed while inflation is disabled
	SkippedEpochs uint64 `protobuf:"varint,5,opt,name=skipped_epochs,json=skippedEpochs,proto3" json:"skipped_epochs,omitempty"`
}
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blockxnet.com/protocol-developers/modules/inflation/state.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
