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

What is Puffer-finance?

Puffer-finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol designed to optimize liquidity, yield, and on-chain exposure across crypto markets. Built on transparent, community-driven smart contracts, it enables users to stake, provide liquidity, and participate in governance while aiming for competitive yields. With a focus on security, scalability, and user-friendly tools, Puffer-finance seeks to make DeFi accessible to both newcomers and power users.

Why does Puffer-finance have inflation?

Inflation in Puffer-finance arises because the protocol mints new tokens to reward users—such as liquidity providers and stakers—creating a growing token supply. This emission-based model is intentional to incentivize activity and network security, typically guided by a predefined schedule.

How is Puffer-finance inflation calculated?

Puffer-finance 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 Puffer-finance emission calculated?

Puffer-finance 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.
