user1638: I'm wondering how much staking rewards offset the circulating supply inflation rate right now.
We know that annual staking rewards are around 5.5%, but the only metrics I could find about annual inflation rate are here:
https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/3136c55b-635e-4f46-8e4b-b8ab54f2d460/page/azvBC
So it's around 2% per year.
Which means that people who don't stake actually lose 2% (if we're ignoring coin price appreciation) per year, while people who do stake gain 5.5% - 2% = 3.5% per year.
Does anyone have more information about this?
Edit: I also found this but I'm not sure if it is valid data: https://pastebin.com/raw/a7x2Gu2g

user1676: Each epoch .22 % of the remaining pool are distributed as rewards (therefore .22 % of a slowly declining pool) . So there will be a smooth reduction of inflation. This is unlike Bitcoin where inflation rate only adjusts every four years (when it gets cut in half). Although I have not done the math, I've heard that the .22 % rate was chosen so that the rate of inflation will effectively be the same as Bitcoin (i.e. four years from now it will be  about half what it is today.)
