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

What is Ethereum-name-service?

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized naming system on the Ethereum blockchain that maps human-friendly names like yourname.eth to Ethereum addresses, content hashes, and other resources. By replacing long crypto addresses with memorable names, ENS simplifies onboarding to wallets, dApps, and DeFi, while enabling ownership of .eth domains and seamless cross-application integration.

Why does Ethereum-name-service have inflation?

ENS does not inflate because its token supply is capped at 100 million ENS with no ongoing minting after the initial distribution. Any perceived inflation comes from market demand and token velocity, not new token issuance.

How is Ethereum-name-service inflation calculated?

Ethereum-name-service 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 Ethereum-name-service emission calculated?

Ethereum-name-service 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.
