# 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"`
}
```
