We deal with a random graph model evolving in discrete time steps by duplicating and deleting the edges of randomly chosen vertices. We prove the existence of an almost surely asymptotic degree distribution, with stretched exponential decay; more precisely, the proportion of vertices of degree d tends to some positive number cd > 0 almost surely as the number of steps goes to ∞, and cd ~ (eπ)1/2d1/4e-2√d holds as d → ∞.
