This altcoin seems so strange for me in the sense that i don't see the total supply. But the graph shows its market value is rising drastically and that it seems to reach 10USD by the end of 2017. 
Shift uses dPOS so delegates receive rewards for being node operators, which constitute the coin's annual inflation. Inflation is capped to 10% or less annually and if I remember correctly, the % inflation is designed to decrease over each subsequent year (e.g. currently Shift's inflation is already lower than Lisk's, despite Shift's low coin supply of less than 11.5m tokens).
