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

What is Edgex?

Edgex is a next-generation cryptocurrency designed for fast, low-fee transfers and scalable decentralized apps. Built with edge computing in mind, Edgex enables secure micropayments and smart-contract-enabled interactions across devices. Accessible on mobile and IoT devices, Edgex aims to power everyday transactions with a focus on speed, efficiency, and community governance.

Why does Edgex have inflation?

Edgex has inflation because new coins are minted as block rewards to incentivize validators and secure the network, while funding ongoing development and governance. The emission rate is designed to decrease over time to balance network growth with long-term scarcity.

How is Edgex inflation calculated?

Edgex 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 Edgex emission calculated?

Edgex 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.
