Liquidity providers deposit funds into liquidity pools with different liquidity management strategies and receive trading fees from traders (supply-side fees).

Maverick is a non-custodial exchange protocol built on  Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Base, and zkSync Era. Maverick was founded by Alvin Xu and Bob Baxley in March 2023.

MAV tokenholders own and govern the protocol. Currently, the protocol does not take a cut of the trading fees. Maverick's investors include Pantera Capital, Binance Labs, Coinbase Ventures, and Apollo Crypto.

Maverick Protocol

# Maverick Protocol Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Maverick maximum token supply metric represents the theoretical maximum number of tokens that can ever exist in circulation for the Maverick protocol. This is a fixed value determined by the protocol's tokenomics design and represents the hard cap on token issuance. The metric answers the business question: "What is the absolute maximum number of Maverick tokens that can ever be created?" This serves as a key reference point for understanding token scarcity, inflation potential, and long-term supply dynamics.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation relies on protocol-defined parameters rather than dynamic blockchain data:
- **Protocol tokenomics documentation**: Official specifications defining the maximum token supply cap
- **Token contract specifications**: Smart contract parameters that enforce supply limitations
- **Protocol governance decisions**: Any governance votes or decisions that established the maximum supply

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply definition
- **Purpose**: Establish the fixed maximum token supply value and launch parameters
- **Logic**: The calculation uses hardcoded values representing official protocol parameters. The maximum supply is set to exactly 2 billion tokens (2,000,000,000). The token launch date is established as July 13, 2023 at midnight UTC, marking when this maximum supply became relevant. The reporting uses daily granularity to provide consistent daily snapshots of this fixed value.
- **Key fields**: The `token_supply_maximum` field contains the 2 billion token cap, `timestamp` marks the launch date, and `timestamp_grain` specifies daily reporting intervals

### Final aggregation
- **Standardization**: The finalize macro applies Token Terminal's standard formatting and metadata, adding the project identifier 'maverick' and ensuring consistent output structure across all maximum supply metrics
- **Historical fill**: A fill-forward strategy ensures the maximum supply value is available for all dates from the launch date onward, providing complete historical coverage even though the value never changes
- **Time boundaries**: Daily boundaries starting from July 13, 2023, with the same maximum supply value propagated to all subsequent dates
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is simply the constant 2,000,000,000 tokens, representing the absolute maximum that can ever exist regardless of current circulating or total supply
