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

What is Syscoin?

Syscoin is a scalable blockchain platform that blends Bitcoin-level security with fast, low-cost transactions. It enables tokenization, NFTs, and decentralized apps through the Syscoin Platform, and uses Z-DAG for near-instant transfers. With merge-mining alongside Bitcoin, Syscoin delivers enterprise-grade reliability for merchants and developers.

Why does Syscoin have inflation?

Syscoin has inflation because it issues new SYS tokens as block rewards to miners and network participants, providing ongoing incentives for security, maintenance, and growth. This emission is designed to support a sustainable ecosystem and is a feature of its economic model rather than a strictly fixed supply.

How is Syscoin inflation calculated?

Syscoin 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 Syscoin emission calculated?

Syscoin 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.
