Monero’s inflation schedule is based on a tail emission model. After reaching approximately 18.3 million coins in May 2022, Monero introduced a fixed block reward of 0.6 XMR per block (one block every 2 minutes), equivalent to 0.3 XMR per minute. This results in an annual inflation rate starting at about 1%, which decreases over time as the total supply grows, trending toward 0% in the long term. This mechanism ensures continuous miner incentives and network security while offsetting lost coins.
