Solana (SOL) circulating supply history up until November 10, 2022

By December 2021, over 305 million Solana tokens were issued and in active circulation - but new coins arrive slowly. Although the cryptocurrency has an unlimited supply - unlike Bitcoin, of which there can only be 21 million tokens and not a single more - the Solana blockchain only issues a set amount of new tokens at the beginning of each year. This issuance is based off the year-to-year inflation rate, and can therefore vary. When SOL fist launched, there was a maximum supply of around 500 million but the blockchain burned (erased from the blockchain) 11 million of them. By December 2021, the maximum supply was around 510 million SOL.
