Origin Protocol

# Origin Protocol Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Origin token maximum supply metric represents the predetermined maximum number of Origin tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol's tokenomics. This is a static reference metric that defines the hard cap on Origin token supply as specified in the token's design. The metric answers the business question: "What is the maximum possible supply of Origin tokens?" This value serves as a reference point for calculating other supply-related metrics like circulating supply percentages and token distribution ratios.

## 2. Data sources

This metric relies on static protocol parameters rather than dynamic blockchain data:
- **Protocol specifications**: Origin token's predetermined maximum supply as defined in the tokenomics design
- **Token launch information**: The official launch date of the Origin token
- **Project configuration data**: Hardcoded parameters specific to Origin's token design

Unlike most Token Terminal metrics, this does not require blockchain transaction data, event logs, or external price feeds since maximum supply is a fixed constant defined at token creation.

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply definition
- **Purpose**: Define the Origin token's maximum supply and launch date as static constants
- **Logic**: The calculation sets three key values as constants: the Origin token launch date is defined as July 13, 2022 at 00:00:00 UTC, representing when the token became active. The maximum supply is hardcoded as exactly 1,000,000,000 tokens, which represents the total number of Origin tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol design. The timestamp granularity is set to daily level for consistency with other Token Terminal metrics.
- **Key fields**: The `timestamp` field marks the token launch date, `timestamp_grain` specifies daily aggregation, and `token_supply_maximum` contains the 1 billion token hard cap

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: No combination is needed since this is a single static value
- **Currency conversion**: No currency conversion is required as this metric represents token quantity, not value
- **Time aggregation**: The metric uses a fill-forward strategy, meaning the maximum supply value (1,000,000,000 tokens) is applied to the launch date and then propagated forward to all subsequent days
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is simply the hardcoded maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 Origin tokens, standardized through Token Terminal's metric finalization process to ensure consistent formatting and metadata across all supply metrics
