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

What is Derive?

Derive is a next-generation cryptocurrency designed to power decentralized finance with fast transactions and low fees. Built for developers and everyday users, it combines scalable blockchain technology with a transparent emission model to fund security, governance, and ongoing innovation. With staking rewards and active community governance, Derive aims to deliver efficient, user-friendly digital asset utility.

Why does Derive have inflation?

Derive has inflation because new tokens are minted over time to reward validators/stakers and to fund network security, development, and governance. This inflation is an intentional part of Derive's design to align incentives and sustain activity, with the emission rate typically decreasing over time.

How is Derive inflation calculated?

Derive 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 Derive emission calculated?

Derive 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.
