Inflationary Model

Summary

An economic model where the supply of a cryptocurrency increases over time, often leading to price depreciation unless countered by demand.

Detailed Description

In an inflationary model, the total supply of the cryptocurrency is designed to increase consistently, often through mechanisms such as mining rewards or token issuance. This model can lead to an increase in supply that may cause the price of the token to decrease relative to its demand, potentially leading to inflation in the asset's value. The model contrasts with deflationary systems, where supply is capped or decreases over time. Inflationary models are often adopted to incentivize network participation, promote spending, and support long-term growth.
