12,546,890 is the maximum supply of phore according to this announcement thread. where is the 13,019,299 PHR being shown on coinmarketcap since a few days ago coming from?
No this number is not the max supply but the current supply at the time the thread was created.
The current supply can be viewed in the explorer under "Outstanding" here :
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/phr/The supply is increasing with every block because new Phore are created to reward masternode holders and stakers.
So there is a slow inflation, the inflation rate is getting slower and slower as time passes.
A breakdown of the current and future block rewards can be found on the Phore Github here (scroll down) :
