*Inflation figures shown here reflect circulating (market) inflation and may differ from a coin’s projected, policy (planned) inflation.

What is Ampleforth-governance-token?

Ampleforth-governance-token (AMPL) is the native governance token of the Ampleforth protocol, designed to empower decentralized decision-making and align stakeholder incentives. It uses an elastic supply that automatically rebases to target a stable price, delivering a self-adjusting monetary policy within the crypto ecosystem. This structure supports transparent governance and long-term value capture for participants in the Ampleforth network.

Why does Ampleforth-governance-token have inflation?

AMPL has inflation by design due to its automatic rebases: when the token price is above the target, the supply expands to push the price toward the target. This elastic-supply mechanism increases the number of tokens in circulation during positive rebases, while negative rebases contract supply to maintain price stability.

How is Ampleforth-governance-token inflation calculated?

Ampleforth-governance-token inflation is calculated by comparing the circulating supply from one year ago to today’s supply. The percentage increase in supply over that period is the annual inflation rate. Learn more in our guide: What is cryptocurrency inflation?.

How is Ampleforth-governance-token emission calculated?

Ampleforth-governance-token emission refers to how new coins enter circulation, usually through mining or staking rewards. The emission rate depends on the project’s monetary policy and block reward schedule. Learn more in our guide: What is cryptocurrency emission?.

FAQ

We calculate our own inflation and emission data via our algorithms. You can learn more about how we derive our data in the learn page.

We encourage the usage of any data available on this website. You may use it for your personal or educational goals, but do not use it commercially unless you purchase the CryptoInflation API.

We strive to make the data as accurate as possible, but some blockchains have limitations on how precisely supply, inflation, and emission can be calculated. Moreover, the data on this website often has to be averaged and approximated, therefore the data can be a bit off sometimes.

Cryptocurrency emission and inflation aren’t inherently bad—they’re part of how many blockchains secure their networks and incentivize miners or validators. Moderate inflation can help distribute coins fairly and keep the network active, but excessive or poorly managed emission may dilute value and hurt long-term sustainability.
