Liquidity providers deposit funds into Holdstation DeFutures and receive trading fees from traders (supply-side fees).

Holdstation DeFutures is a non-custodial perpetual exchange protocol built on zkSync Era. Holdstation DeFutures was founded by Hoai Nam and Trung Banh, and launched in 2023.

HOLD tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total trading fees paid by traders (revenue). Holdstation's investors include ViaBTC Capital, Kryber, K300 Ventures, etc.

# Holdstation Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The HoldStation maximum token supply metric represents the predetermined maximum number of HoldStation tokens that can ever exist. This is a static configuration value set at the project's launch rather than a dynamically calculated metric. The metric answers the business question: "What is the total supply cap for HoldStation tokens?" The calculation uses hardcoded values based on the project's tokenomics design.

## 2. Data sources

This metric relies on predefined project specifications rather than blockchain events:
- **Token economics documentation**: HoldStation's predetermined maximum supply specification
- **Project launch configuration**: Official launch date and initial token parameters
- **Protocol design specifications**: Fixed supply cap defined in the project's tokenomics

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply configuration
- **Purpose**: Defines the fixed maximum token supply for HoldStation
- **Logic**: Sets a hardcoded value of 30,000,000 tokens as the maximum supply. This represents the total number of tokens that can ever be minted or exist within the HoldStation ecosystem. The launch date is set to November 27, 2023, marking when this maximum supply configuration became effective
- **Key fields**: The `token_supply_maximum` field contains the fixed value of 30,000,000, `timestamp` marks the effective date, and `timestamp_grain` specifies daily granularity for the metric

### Component B: Metric finalization
- **Purpose**: Standardizes the maximum supply data into the required metric format
- **Logic**: Applies the finalize metric macro to transform the raw configuration into a properly formatted time series metric. The macro adds project identification metadata, ensures consistent field naming, and implements a fill-forward strategy so the maximum supply value persists across all dates from the launch date forward
- **Key fields**: The macro adds standardized fields like `data_id` set to 'holdstation' and ensures the metric follows the standard format for token supply metrics

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The maximum supply configuration flows directly through the finalization macro without any complex joining or aggregation
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable as this metric represents token count, not monetary value
- **Time aggregation**: Uses daily boundaries with the fill-forward strategy ensuring the maximum supply value is available for every day from the launch date onward
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is simply the fixed maximum supply of 30,000,000 HoldStation tokens, consistently reported across all time periods since the November 27, 2023 launch date
