« Emission Type » Filter #
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| Burn & Mint | A process where a cryptocurrency’s total supply is maintained by burning a certain percentage of the circulating supply while simultaneously minting an equal amount of new coins/tokens. This maintains the same total supply while increasing scarcity by reducing the circulating supply. The purpose of Burn & Mint is to create a deflationary mechanism that can potentially increase the value of the cryptocurrency. |
| Deflationary | A type of cryptocurrency where the total supply is decreasing over time due to coin/token burning or other mechanisms. This can lead to increased scarcity and potentially higher value for the remaining coins/tokens. |
| Fixed Supply | A type of cryptocurrency where the total supply is fixed or limited from the beginning and cannot be increased through minting or other mechanisms. This creates a level of scarcity that can potentially increase the value of the cryptocurrency. |
| Inflationary | A type of cryptocurrency where the total supply is increasing over time due to minting or other mechanisms. This can potentially lead to decreased value of the cryptocurrency due to dilution of the existing supply. |

|---|---|
| Burn | A process of permanently destroying a certain amount of cryptocurrency from circulation, usually to reduce the total supply and increase scarcity. |
| Burn & Mint Equilibrium | A mechanism where a certain percentage of the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply is burned while an equal amount of new coins/tokens is minted. This maintains the same total supply while increasing scarcity and potentially increasing the value of the cryptocurrency. |
| Decreasing Inflation Rate | A mechanism where the rate at which new coins/tokens are minted decreases over time, usually resulting in a decrease in the overall inflation rate of the cryptocurrency. |
| Decreasing Issuance | A mechanism where the total number of new coins/tokens issued decreases over time, usually resulting in a decrease in the overall inflation rate of the cryptocurrency. |
| Dynamic Emission | A mechanism where the rate of coin/token issuance varies based on factors such as network usage, demand, or market conditions. |
| Fixed Inflation Rate | A mechanism where the rate at which new coins/tokens are minted remains constant, resulting in a fixed inflation rate for the cryptocurrency. |
| Fixed Issuance | A mechanism where the total number of new coins/tokens issued is fixed and does not change over time, usually resulting in a fixed inflation rate for the cryptocurrency. |
| Fixed Supply | A type of cryptocurrency where the total supply is fixed or limited from the beginning and cannot be increased through minting or other mechanisms. This creates a level of scarcity that can potentially increase the value of the cryptocurrency. |
| Increasing Income | A mechanism where the overall income of the network increases over time, usually due to transaction fees or other revenue-generating mechanisms. |
| Increasing Issuance | A mechanism where the rate at which new coins/tokens are minted increases over time, usually resulting in an increase in the overall inflation rate of the cryptocurrency. |
| Mint models | Specific methods or algorithms used to mint new coins/tokens, such as proof-of-work, proof-of-stake, or delegated proof-of-stake. |
| Non-programmatic Burn | A process of burning coins/tokens that occurs outside of a pre-determined algorithm or mechanism. |
| Other Burn | A type of coin/token burning mechanism that does not fall into the categories of programmatic or non-programmatic burns. |
| Premined Rewards | A mechanism where a certain percentage of the total supply of coins/tokens is distributed to early investors or developers before the public launch of the cryptocurrency. |
| Programmatic Burn | A type of coin/token burning mechanism that is pre-determined by a specific algorithm or mechanism. |
| Secondary Token Issuance | The creation and distribution of a new type of token or cryptocurrency on top of an existing blockchain, usually to provide additional functionality or utility. |
