On July 15, 2025, the Zano team explained how the network’s token supply is designed to change as adoption grows. Unlike many cryptocurrencies that continually increase their supply, Zano combines a fixed block reward with transaction fee burns that can eventually offset new coin issuance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Many cryptocurrencies increase their circulating supply over time through mining or staking rewards. This process is known as inflation<\/strong> because more coins enter circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Zano takes a different approach. While new ZANO<\/strong> coins are created through block rewards, every transaction also permanently removes a small amount of ZANO from circulation. As network usage grows, the number of coins burned increases, helping reduce inflation over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. How Zano Creates New Coins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    New ZANO enters circulation through block rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The network is designed to produce:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This emission remains consistent, providing predictable issuance for the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. How Zano Burns Coins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Every transaction on the Zano network permanently burns part of the transaction fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
