Understanding dilution from new token issuance
Token inflation rate measures how quickly new supply enters circulation relative to what already exists - proof-of-work and proof-of-stake reward emissions both dilute existing holders' percentage ownership unless demand grows at least as fast as new supply.
Worked example
For 5,000,000 new tokens issued annually against a 100,000,000 circulating supply:
Inflation Rate = (5000000 / 100000000) x 100 = 5.0% annual inflation
Understanding a token's emission schedule and inflation rate is essential context for evaluating long-term supply dynamics - a high inflation rate can offset apparent price gains in real, ownership-adjusted terms even during periods of nominal price growth.
