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

What is Thorswap?

ThorSwap is a cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) built on THORChain that enables seamless, trustless crypto swaps across multiple blockchains without wrapped tokens. It uses native liquidity pools and the RUNE token to power fast, secure trades, liquidity mining, and transparent governance. Trade, provide liquidity, and earn rewards in a borderless DeFi ecosystem.

Why does Thorswap have inflation?

Inflation on Thorswap’s ecosystem is by design: THORChain mints RUNE as protocol rewards to incentivize liquidity providers and network security, which increases the total supply over time. The inflation rate is governed by the protocol and can be updated via governance, so ThorSwap’s economics reflect that emission model.

How is Thorswap inflation calculated?

Thorswap 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 Thorswap emission calculated?

Thorswap 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.
