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

What is Terra-luna?

Terra Luna is a blockchain ecosystem designed for fast, low-cost payments and decentralized finance, powered by the LUNA token and algorithmic stablecoins. LUNA secures the network, enables staking rewards, and drives governance for Terra’s DeFi apps. After a 2022 crisis, the project relaunched as Terra 2.0 with a new LUNA token and a split between Terra Classic (LUNC) and the revived chain.

Why does Terra-luna have inflation?

Terra-Luna has inflation because the protocol mints new LUNA to reward validators and stakers and to fund ecosystem growth; there is no fixed supply cap, and the inflation rate is governed and adjustable by the community to incentivize participation and security.

How is Terra-luna inflation calculated?

Terra-luna 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 Terra-luna emission calculated?

Terra-luna 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.
