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

Osmosis is a non-custodial exchange protocol built on Cosmos ecosystem. Osmosis was launched in June 2021.

OSMO token holders own and govern the protocol. They currently do not take a cut of the total trading fees paid by traders (revenue).

# Osmosis Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Osmosis maximum token supply metric represents the theoretical upper limit of OSMO tokens that can ever exist according to the protocol's design specifications. This is a static configuration value that remains constant at 1 billion tokens throughout the protocol's lifetime. The metric provides a daily time series showing this fixed maximum supply value from the token's launch date through June 2024.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation relies on protocol specification data rather than dynamic blockchain sources:
- **Protocol specifications**: Hardcoded maximum supply configuration defined in the Osmosis protocol design (1 billion OSMO tokens)
- **Launch date configuration**: Token launch timestamp specification (June 28, 2021)
- **Time series boundaries**: Configured date range for metric reporting (through June 20, 2024)

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Base configuration setup
- **Purpose**: Establishes the fundamental parameters for the maximum token supply metric
- **Logic**: Sets three core values - the token launch date as June 28, 2021 at 00:00:00 UTC, the timestamp grain as daily intervals, and the maximum token supply as exactly 1,000,000,000 OSMO tokens. This creates a single baseline record with the protocol's maximum supply specification
- **Key fields**: The `timestamp` field marks the token launch date, `timestamp_grain` specifies daily reporting intervals, and `token_supply_maximum` contains the hardcoded 1 billion token limit

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The base configuration is processed through the finalize metric macro using the 'osmosis' data identifier
- **Time series generation**: A fill-forward strategy extends the single maximum supply value across all dates from the launch date onwards, creating a daily time series where each day shows the same 1 billion token maximum
- **Date filtering**: The final time series is filtered to include only dates up to June 20, 2024
- **Final calculation**: Each day in the output shows a consistent maximum token supply of 1,000,000,000 OSMO tokens, representing the theoretical upper bound that cannot be exceeded regardless of actual circulating or total supply amounts
