Total Supply
Definition
Total supply is the number of coins currently in existence, including all mined, staked, or distributed coins. It differs from circulating supply (actively tradeable coins) and maximum supply (the hard cap). Total supply grows with each block until reaching the maximum.
Technical Explanation
Total supply equals cumulative block rewards minus any burned coins. It's verifiable by summing all unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) or querying the blockchain state. Burned coins are sent to addresses with no known private key—permanently removing them from circulation.
Metrics to understand: Total Supply (all existing), Circulating Supply (available for trading), Max Supply (protocol limit). Market cap uses circulating supply; fully diluted valuation uses max supply for future projections.
