pls what is the total supply of ethereum?
ethereum total supply is increasing because mining reward
miner get reward with each block they mined and confirm the transactions
now the circualtion supply is more then 100 milllion for now and its total supply is unlimited but only miners can get few in a year

Interestingly though Vitalik brought up the discussion about implementing a cap to the total supply of ETH.

If I remember correctly it was on april 1st? By the way, if he want to implement a cap (but this question is for all PoS coins) how it will work with PoS ? It's the same thing as PoW where miners get only transaction fees after all coins are mined?

Yes it was on April 1st and he admitted that it was supposed to be a semi joke to see how the community actually responds. It turned out that there was more to the cap idea than Vitalik might have thought and the discussion was pretty good. Yes it would be that only transaction fees go towards staking nodes.
