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

What is Zksync?

Zksync is a leading Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution that uses zero-knowledge (zk-rollups) to dramatically boost throughput and reduce gas fees. By processing transactions off-chain and posting zk proofs to Ethereum, it delivers fast finality, strong security, and Ethereum-compatible developers experience for DeFi, NFTs, and payments.

Why does Zksync have inflation?

Zksync currently has no native token and does not mint new coins, so there is no token-based inflation. If a governance or incentive token is introduced in the future, its inflation would depend on that token’s specific rules.

How is Zksync inflation calculated?

Zksync 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 Zksync emission calculated?

Zksync 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.
