Give the supply number a trail people can follow
Circulating supply verification explains how your project arrives at its reported number and what supports that calculation. It gives a reviewer a path from the figure to the records behind it. It does not leave the number to speak for itself.
Picture a research collective publishing weekly notes during the week an audit report is published. The collective wants its supply figure to match the report and its existing token records. We would compare the stated figure with the available documents. Then we would note which classifications need confirmation before preparing an explanation.
The useful starting point is a plain account of what the project counts as circulating and what it treats differently. Relevant records may cover locked balances, vesting, treasury holdings, burns, or emissions. The right categories depend on your token arrangements. We keep the explanation tied to the evidence you can show.
A mismatch can make project materials harder to interpret. Check the figure in your token documentation, website, explorer information, and tracker profiles before requesting a change. If a contract migration altered the records, coordinate the explanation with the migration and rebranding update. Teams preparing a broader tracker update can also review Listings and verification.
What changes when you prepare requests for both trackers?
The underlying explanation can share the same facts. CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap still need separate, platform-aware materials. We prepare each explanation around the token information and request route relevant to that platform. We do not assume one submission fits both.
For the CoinGecko supply verification process, make the reported figure easy to connect to public records. Those records should explain the balances behind it. For CoinMarketCap, prepare the same kind of clear account, with sources that help explain the token’s current profile information. Keep your own public documentation aligned with both explanations.
A supply question is not always a listing question. If the project is seeking a broader profile or listing update, see our CoinGecko listing support or CoinMarketCap listing support. Those services address wider listing work. This page focuses on the reasoning and evidence behind the circulating figure.
CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap decide how they review and display submitted supply information. Either platform may ask for more context or interpret records differently. It may also leave its displayed figure unchanged. We commit to the agreed preparation and support, not to a platform outcome.
Gather the records that connect each balance to its label
A useful evidence set lets someone trace the reported number back to identifiable sources. Start with public records your team can stand behind. Then mark what still needs a decision or explanation.
- Token details: network, token name, contract address, and relevant explorer links.
- Supply figures: total and reported circulating supply, with the calculation written in plain language.
- Address records: addresses and balances treated as locked, vested, reserved, or otherwise not circulating.
- Project terms: vesting schedules, treasury policies, lock terms, and relevant governance documents.
- Change records: evidence of burns, emissions, migrations, or other changes behind a difference in figures.
Label each address and explain why its balance is treated that way. If the project uses more than one contract or chain, show how the figures fit together. Avoid presenting one unexplained total. Public URLs are helpful because they let a reviewer follow the explanation. They do not need to rely on private messages.
At Brand Community, we compare the supplied documents with the public sources and return one source map. It connects each part of the explanation to its record and flags missing support for your team to confirm.
One source map can support two distinct explanations
We organize the shared evidence once. Then we prepare platform-specific explanations for CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap. This keeps the underlying facts together while making each request readable in its own context.
| Work item | What we prepare |
|---|---|
| Shared evidence | A source map for figures, addresses, and project records |
| CoinGecko | A supply explanation and supporting links for its request route |
| CoinMarketCap | A separate explanation tied to the token’s current profile information |
| Open questions | A short list of unclear labels or facts for your team to confirm |
Say an audit report changes how your team describes a reserve balance. We would keep the source record visible and ask you to confirm the classification. Then we would carry the confirmed wording into the relevant explanations. The report itself does not replace a clear account of how the project reached its figure.
We also check whether the requested change is really about supply. It may belong with broader listing work instead. The guide to supply verification can help your team understand the calculation before we prepare the platform materials. Your project remains responsible for confirming its figures and the meaning of its records.
Move from project records to a ready request
The work starts with the token details and ends with a clear record of what was prepared. These 3 next steps show what to gather. They also show where we can take the work.
- Share the current picture. Send the network, contract address, tracker profile links, reported figure, and the reason you want it reviewed.
- Gather the supporting records. Include public material for allocations, vesting, locked balances, treasury holdings, burns, emissions, or migration changes. We’ll flag gaps that need your answer.
- Review the explanation together. We map the figure to its sources, prepare separate platform materials, and record what was submitted or still needs attention.
Preparation moves more smoothly when the same figure and labels appear across your public materials. If your team is still resolving an address label or conflicting record, we’ll separate what is confirmed from what needs your decision. That gives you a practical list of open items instead of a guess about the calculation.
To start, send the contract address, both tracker links if available, and the records behind your current figure. We’ll check what can already be followed. Then we’ll identify the missing pieces and agree the next step with you.
How it works
- Share the token detailsSend the network, contract address, tracker links, and the supply question you want reviewed.
- Provide the supporting recordsShare public material for allocations, vesting, locks, treasury holdings, burns, or emissions.
- Check the calculationWe map the stated figure to its sources and ask you to confirm unclear classifications.
- Prepare platform materialsWe organize the explanation and source links separately for CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap.
- Record the work and follow-upWe provide a record of what was prepared and help organize any further information your team needs to provide.
Frequently asked questions
How should I start a CoinGecko supply request?
Start with the reported circulating figure and a plain-language explanation of how your team reached it. Add the network, contract address, explorer links, and public records for relevant balances or restrictions. We can check whether those sources tell a consistent story. Then we can prepare an explanation and supporting links for CoinGecko’s available request route.
Which records help explain a circulating figure?
Useful records include the token’s contract and explorer links, allocation information, vesting or lock terms, and treasury context. Add evidence of burns or emissions where relevant. Label the addresses and balances your calculation treats differently. A source map helps connect each label to its supporting record. Your team can then spot missing context before a request is prepared.
Can one evidence set cover CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap?
The underlying records may support both requests, but the explanations should be separate. Keep the calculation and project facts consistent. Then arrange the sources around each platform’s request route and profile context. For example, one source map can point to the same address records while each platform receives its own concise explanation.
How long does the supply verification work take?
Preparation depends on how complete and consistent your project records are. If address labels, vesting terms, and public figures are already clear, we can move into the explanation work without first resolving those gaps. If details conflict, your team will need to confirm them. Each platform sets its own timing after a request is submitted.
Can you make CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap accept our figure?
No; each platform makes its own review and display decisions. One platform may ask for added context while the other handles the same records differently. We can make the calculation easier to follow and organize its supporting sources. We can also complete the agreed preparation. We cannot promise acceptance or a particular displayed figure.
What should I send before we begin?
Send the token name, network, contract address, tracker links, and the figure you want reviewed. Include public token documentation and any available records for vesting, locked balances, treasury holdings, or supply changes. If a contract migration or audit report changed the explanation, mention that too. We’ll identify which details are clear and what your team still needs to confirm.
