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

What is Loopring?

Loopring is a leading Layer-2 scaling protocol for Ethereum that uses zkRollups to deliver fast, secure, and low-cost trading and payments. The platform enables high-throughput decentralized exchanges and wallet integrations while preserving user custody of funds. The native token, LRC, powers fees, staking rewards, and governance, helping align incentives across traders, liquidity providers, and developers in the Loopring ecosystem.

Why does Loopring have inflation?

Loopring has inflation because new LRC is issued to reward participants who secure and operate the Layer-2 network (such as liquidity providers, operators, and stakers). This ongoing issuance is designed to sustain incentives, participation, and growth in Loopring’s decentralized exchanges and Layer-2 infrastructure.

How is Loopring inflation calculated?

Loopring 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 Loopring emission calculated?

Loopring 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.
