Overview
Maximum supply measures the total number of tokens that can ever exist under a project’s current token economics. This includes tokens that are circulating, locked, unvested, or reserved for future issuance.
Data sources
- Official protocol documentation and tokenomics specifications
- Smart contract configuration parameters
- Network genesis settings
- Asset metadata for decimal precision
Common calculation approaches
Protocol-defined tokenomics specifications
Maximum supply is defined as a static value based on the predetermined tokenomics design of a project. For lending protocols and stablecoin issuers, such as ZeroLend and Abracadabra.money, hardcoded configuration values are established based on official specifications and launch date configurations.
Smart contract and network parameters
Supply limits are derived from specific parameters embedded within token contracts or network genesis configurations. For DEXs such as Verse, maximum supply caps are extracted from contract configurations, while for Layer 1 blockchains including Stellar and Cardano, protocol-level constants are identified from genesis settings.
Note: The calculation approaches and protocol examples above are representative patterns. Individual protocol implementations may vary.
