The Stellar Lumens cryptocurrency adheres to the inflationary principle. Developers must still distribute the remaining money (100 percent pre-mine) to the group even after all coins have been removed. Therefore, they set the inflation rate at 1% per year. Only a few people know about it, but those who do receive XLM for free and in multiplied form each week without doing anything. Lumens in circulation are increasing by 0.02 percent per week, or 1% per year. Currently, this contributes roughly 20 million lumens to the network each week.
