Abstract The phenomenology of a cosmic-phase transition on the GUT energy scale is considered. Relying on numerical studies of the nucleation theory, we find, within a restricted range of parameters, an approximate power-law expansion accompanied by a large increase of both the scale factor and the comoving entropy. The distinct feature of this particular idea is the fact that inflation and phase conversion of the GUT continuum proceed simultaneously. The generic features of such an idea are explored.
