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

What is Tensor?

Tensor is a scalable cryptocurrency built on a fast, secure blockchain designed for everyday payments, smart contracts, and decentralized apps. The native Tensor token powers network security, governance, and seamless cross-platform transactions, enabling developers and users to build and participate in thriving ecosystems. With developer-friendly tools and interoperability across ecosystems, Tensor aims to support a vibrant digital economy.

Why does Tensor have inflation?

Tensor has inflation because the protocol issues new tokens as block rewards to incentivize validators and secure the network, with the emission rate often governed by a predetermined schedule. This inflation helps fund security, governance, and ongoing development, while typically tapering over time to balance growth and scarcity.

How is Tensor inflation calculated?

Tensor 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 Tensor emission calculated?

Tensor 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.
