somewhere, but coingecko says 11.3 billion? @ChrisForest
You can see the metrics on cspr.live
Genesis tokens (tokens in the network at the time mainnet launched) was 10 billion and the supply you're looking for. Since Mainnet launch on 3/31/2021, ~1.3 billion more tokens have been generated/unlocked.
makes sense! when are additional tokens generated? and do they come from an allotment not pictured in the pie chart provided above?
The network is Proof of Stake, so it is naturally inflationary. The default inflation rate is 8% (assuming all circulating tokens are staked), and this inflation rate increases the lower the percentage of total tokens are staked on the network, in order to give an incentive for users to stake more tokens. Tokens are generated every ~2 hours (called an Era on Casper) when the validator auction is run. Rewards are calculated and auto re-staked on the network for you (auto-compounding stake/earnings). New tokens are only earned/created as a percentage of tokens that were delegated/staked on the network.
