It enables secure machine-to-machine payments and data transfers across the Internet of Things, powering a connected economy of devices and services. With a focus on sustainability and real-world utility, Iota-2 aims to redefine how value moves in a digital world.

Why does Iota-2 have inflation?

Inflation in Iota-2 is built into the protocol to fund ongoing security, governance, and ecosystem development. A transparent issuance schedule adds new tokens to validators and participants who help secure the network and maintain liquidity as the network expands.

How is Iota-2 inflation calculated?

Iota-2 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?.

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.
