A supply figure needs a paper trail: proving circulating supply to two listing sites

What circulating supply verification covers

Quick test: Add up locked, vested and free wallets on a sheet. Does the total match your stated supply? If not, fix the sheet first.

Circulating supply verification documents how a project arrives at the number of tokens it reports as circulating. The figure should be explainable: a reviewer needs to understand which balances are counted, which are excluded, and why. The work is not simply changing a displayed number; it is making the underlying accounting legible and consistent across public sources.

For a project, the first useful distinction is between total supply and tokens considered available to the market. The exact treatment of restricted or reserved balances should be supported with project records rather than assumed. We help organize that evidence and make the explanation understandable to someone outside the team.

This service is a fit when a displayed figure is missing, outdated, inconsistent with current token allocations, or difficult to substantiate. It can also support a new listing or a material token update. For related platform work, see CoinMarketCap listing support, CoinGecko listing support, and the broader listings and verification services.

A useful first test: could an independent reader follow the calculation from your public supply statement to the balances and documents behind it? If not, strengthen the evidence before requesting a platform update.

What evidence should you prepare for both sites?

Strong supply evidence connects a clear calculation to identifiable records. Prepare one source of truth for the reported figure, then attach documents or verifiable references for each important exclusion and inclusion. This makes it easier to resolve questions without sending several versions of the same information.

Gather the following before work begins:

• Token contract address, network, and links to the relevant public explorer pages.
• Current total supply and circulating supply figures, with the date they were checked.
• Allocation breakdown for the team, investors, treasury, ecosystem, and public distribution, where applicable.
• Evidence for locked or vested balances, such as vesting terms, contract details, or official project documentation.
• A clear explanation of burned balances and the evidence supporting their treatment.
• Public tokenomics or supply documentation that matches the figures in your submission.

Not every project has every allocation type. Mark items that do not apply instead of leaving unexplained gaps. If a figure has changed, note what changed and why, then update related materials so the same explanation appears everywhere.

Our source review checks whether the calculation can be followed, whether supporting materials refer to the right token and network, and whether public statements conflict. If your project has recently migrated or changed its token identity, review contract migration and rebranding updates before sending supply materials.

How do the two supply reviews differ?

CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko are separate platforms, so a supply update should be prepared for each one rather than treated as a single shared change. The underlying project evidence may overlap, but the submission route, requested context, and platform response can differ. We help you keep one accurate evidence base while tailoring the explanation to each platform’s current request process.

The practical distinction is this: the project controls the quality and consistency of the information it provides; each platform controls its own review and displayed data. Avoid sending a bare number without an explanation, or assuming that an update on one tracker automatically changes the other. Check the relevant official guidance before submitting, and keep a copy of what was sent.

For each request, the package should make these points easy to locate:

• The exact figure being requested and the date it represents.
• How the project calculated that figure.
• Which balances are excluded, with the reason and supporting evidence.
• Who can answer follow-up questions on behalf of the project.

If you are also preparing an initial tracker application, the separate CoinGecko listing service and CoinMarketCap listing service address listing readiness. Supply verification focuses on the supply data and its evidence, whether or not it is part of a broader listing effort.

Your 6-point supply evidence checklist

Tick these 6 points before you ask for a supply update. They make the number provable, which is what both sites look for before they change a circulating supply figure on a coin page. If a line is hard to tick, that is useful news: it shows what to settle before any money or time is spent.

• List wallets as locked, vested or free.
• Link on-chain proof for each wallet.
• Publish the vesting schedule.
• Show the method in 3 lines.
• Match the figure across site, docs and trackers.
• Keep a dated copy of the sheet.

Terms in one line

Circulating supply means the number of tokens that are available to trade right now.

Vesting schedule: a timetable that releases locked tokens to holders over time.

How a supply verification request runs

Rule of thumb: Publish the same figure and the same method on your site, docs and both trackers.

We start by reviewing your current figures and source materials, then turn them into a consistent package for the platform or platforms you specify. You have a named point of contact for the review, coordination, and status record, so questions and revisions stay in one thread.

The work normally follows these steps:

1. Kickoff: You share token identifiers, current supply figures, public documentation, and the outcome you need.
2. Evidence review: We compare the calculation with allocation records and flag missing, unclear, or conflicting items.
3. Package preparation: We organize the explanation and supporting references into materials suited to the requested platform update.
4. Submission coordination: We help prepare and coordinate the request using the platform’s available process, keeping a copy of the submitted information.
5. Follow-up and handoff: We record platform questions or status changes and tell you what additional evidence, if any, is needed from your team.

Timing is confirmed after the evidence review. Clean, current records make preparation more straightforward; missing vesting details, inconsistent public figures, or an unresolved contract change can add work before submission. You remain responsible for confirming that project disclosures are authorized and accurate. We provide a concise written summary so your team can see what was prepared, what was sent, and which items remain open.

What can affect a supply update

The project can make its evidence more complete, but it cannot decide how CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko classifies a balance or when either platform updates its display. Each platform reviews submissions under its own procedures, may ask for clarification, and may present supply data according to its own methodology. We cannot promise acceptance, a particular displayed figure, or a review date; our commitment is to the agreed preparation, coordination, and reporting work.

This distinction matters most when project records do not support one unambiguous figure. For example, an allocation described as locked in public materials may have unclear release terms, or a treasury balance may not have a documented status. Resolve the project’s explanation first; do not ask a platform to infer facts from an unsupported label.

Send 3 things: your contract, your wallet list with labels and your vesting schedule. With those, we build the evidence pack and confirm the cost in writing before any request.

How it works

1. Share token detailsSend the contract address, network, current supply figures, and the platform or platforms you want to update.
2. Provide supporting recordsShare allocation, vesting, lock, burn, and public tokenomics materials that support your calculation.
3. Review and resolve gapsWe compare the figures with the available evidence and ask focused questions where the explanation is incomplete or inconsistent.
4. Prepare the platform requestWe organize the evidence and submission context for the requested platform, then coordinate the agreed work.
5. Track follow-upWe record what was submitted and share platform questions, status changes, and any next action for your team.
