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

What is The-sandbox?

The Sandbox is a leading blockchain-based virtual world where players create, own, and monetize voxel assets and experiences using SAND, the platform’s native token. It combines NFTs, play-to-earn incentives, and user-generated content to power a decentralized metaverse where creators can build on LAND, launch games, and trade assets in a vibrant NFT marketplace.

Why does The-sandbox have inflation?

The Sandbox has a capped supply of 3 billion SAND, so there isn’t ongoing inflation from unlimited minting. Any inflation would come only from predefined ecosystem incentives (such as staking rewards) funded by a treasury, not from perpetual minting.

How is The-sandbox inflation calculated?

The-sandbox 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 The-sandbox emission calculated?

The-sandbox 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.
