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

What is Skale?

Skale Network is an Ethereum scaling solution that uses elastic sidechains to run dApps with high throughput, low latency, and predictable gas costs. The SKALE (SKL) token powers network governance, staking, and pay-as-you-go resources for developers and node operators, enabling a scalable Web3 ecosystem with developer-friendly tooling and secure, fast transactions.

Why does Skale have inflation?

Skale has inflation because new SKL tokens are minted as staking rewards to incentivize validators and node operators, helping secure and maintain the network; this inflation is designed to fund ongoing development, governance, and ecosystem participation and is adjustable through protocol parameters and governance decisions.

How is Skale inflation calculated?

Skale 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 Skale emission calculated?

Skale 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.
