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

What is Subsquid?

Subsquid is a blockchain data indexing protocol that turns on-chain data into fast, developer-friendly APIs. It simplifies data crawling and indexing across multiple blockchains, enabling scalable, reliable access to historical and real-time data for apps and dApps. The platform uses a token-based incentive model to reward ecosystem contributors, including indexers and operators, driving ongoing growth and reliability.

Why does Subsquid have inflation?

Subsquid has inflation to reward indexers, node operators, and contributors who secure and expand the network, ensuring reliable access to on-chain data. The emission follows a predefined schedule designed to taper over time as the ecosystem matures.

How is Subsquid inflation calculated?

Subsquid 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 Subsquid emission calculated?

Subsquid 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.
