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

What is Space-and-time?

Space-and-time is a decentralized data indexing and query layer for Web3 that unifies on-chain data across multiple blockchains. It enables developers to access, search, and analyze blockchain data quickly and cost‑effectively, powered by the native STT token for staking, governance, and rewards. Built to scale with Web3, Space-and-time delivers reliable data availability, fast queries, and secure, programmable access for developers.

Why does Space-and-time have inflation?

Space-and-time has inflation because it mints new STT tokens to reward validators, data-indexers, and stakers for securing the network and maintaining the indexing service; this emission funds ecosystem growth and governance. The exact inflation rate depends on the protocol's emission schedule and governance decisions.

How is Space-and-time inflation calculated?

Space-and-time 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 Space-and-time emission calculated?

Space-and-time 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.
