Lenders deposit funds into dForce and receive interest payments from borrowers (supply-side fees).

 dForce is a non-custodial lending & synthetic asset protocol built on Ethereum and other adjacent blockchains. dForce was launched in 2019.

DF tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total interest paid by borrowers (revenue). dForce’s investors include CMBI, Multicoin Capital & Huobi Capital.

# dForce Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The dForce maximum token supply metric represents the theoretical maximum number of dForce tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol's tokenomics design. This is a static value that remains constant over time and serves as the upper bound for token supply analysis. The metric answers the business question: "What is the maximum possible supply of dForce tokens that could ever be in circulation?"

## 2. Data sources

This metric relies on protocol-specific information rather than real-time blockchain data:
- **Protocol documentation**: Official dForce tokenomics specifications defining the maximum token supply
- **Smart contract parameters**: Maximum supply limits coded into the token contract
- **Protocol launch information**: Token launch date and initial parameters

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply definition
- **Purpose**: Establishes the fixed maximum token supply value and launch date for the dForce protocol
- **Logic**: The calculation uses hardcoded values representing the dForce token's fundamental parameters. The launch date is set to January 17, 2021, marking when the token became active. The maximum token supply is defined as 999,926,146 tokens, representing the absolute maximum number of tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol's design
- **Key fields**: The `timestamp` field marks the token launch date, `timestamp_grain` indicates daily granularity, and `token_supply_maximum` contains the maximum supply value

### Final aggregation
- **Time series creation**: The maximum supply value is projected forward from the launch date using a fill-forward strategy
- **Daily consistency**: The same maximum supply value (999,926,146) is repeated for every day from January 17, 2021 onwards
- **Final calculation**: The metric maintains a constant value of 999,926,146 tokens as the maximum possible supply for all dates since the token launch, providing a stable reference point for supply analysis and tokenomics calculations
