Unlike traditional tokens that have a fixed supply or rely on staking for inflation, SMOLTAG's inflation is time-driven. The contract tracks the time elapsed since the last inflation event and mints new tokens proportionally.
Key points:
At 1% annual inflation, the SMOL supply grows predictably over time. Here is the projected supply over the next decade:
The inflation rate is designed to mirror global population growth (~1% per year).
No new tokens are ever created. Value accrues only through speculation. No ongoing funding for causes.
Inflation rewards only active stakers. Centralizes supply and benefits large holders disproportionately.
Inflation applies to all holders equally. New tokens fund real-world impact — reforestation, humanitarian aid, and clean energy. Every holder's proportion remains the same, while the ecosystem grows.
