Total Supply
Every token that currently exists, including locked and reserved coins but excluding any that have been burned.
Total supply counts every token that exists right now — circulating coins plus those locked in vesting and treasury reserves. It does not count coins that were never minted, and it subtracts any that have been burned. So it sits between circulating supply, what's tradeable today, and max supply, the eventual ceiling.
Comparing the three numbers tells a story. If total supply far exceeds circulating supply, large amounts are locked and will hit the market over time. If total supply equals max supply, every coin that will ever exist is already minted, even if not all of it trades freely. Together the three reveal future dilution that price alone hides.
