Circulating Supply Verification on CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap

What does circulating supply verification cover?

Circulating supply verification documents how a project arrived at its reported figure and which tokens it treats as available to the public market. The goal is a defensible calculation with evidence that a reviewer can follow, not just a number placed in a form.

We begin by reconciling the project's stated supply with on-chain balances and the allocation information you provide. Tokens may need separate treatment when they are locked, subject to vesting, held in a treasury, or provably burned. The treatment should be explained consistently; a label alone is not enough to make a balance clear.

A useful preparation checklist includes:

• The token contract address and the relevant chain or chains.
• Current total supply and the circulating figure you want reviewed.
• Allocation and vesting records, including unlock conditions where relevant.
• Wallet addresses and a plain-language explanation of their purpose.
• Public documentation that supports the project's supply methodology.

This is not the same as a token listing. A listing concerns the asset's profile and market data, while a supply review focuses on the basis for a specific supply figure. If both are needed, coordinate the information with your CoinGecko listing or CoinMarketCap listing materials so project details do not conflict.

How do you prepare the supply evidence?

A strong evidence pack connects each excluded balance to a clear reason and source. We organize the calculation so a reviewer can trace the reported circulating amount back to token balances, allocations, and the project's explanation of what is or is not available to the market.

The practical starting point is a wallet-and-allocation table. For each relevant address, record the balance, the known holder or purpose, and the reason it is included in or excluded from circulation. Link that entry to the best available evidence, such as public vesting terms, a contract, or project documentation. If an address is controlled by the project, explain its role rather than leaving the reviewer to infer it.

We also check for consistency between the supply number and the project's public materials. Review tokenomics pages, announcements, and listing profiles for older figures or descriptions that no longer match. Where records do not support a definitive classification, flag the gap and ask the team to resolve it before submission.

The result is a readable package rather than a pile of unrelated screenshots. For teams also reviewing public profile accuracy, our listing and verification overview explains how this work fits with other platform updates. Projects with changed contracts or token details may also need migration and rebranding updates.

How does the CoinGecko supply verification process work?

The CoinGecko supply verification process starts with a consistent calculation and supporting records, then moves to a platform submission and any follow-up requested during review. We prepare the information; the platform evaluates it under its own review process.

For CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, the project should present the same underlying facts: contract details, supply totals, wallet classifications, and the reasoning behind exclusions. A platform may ask for clarification or additional evidence, so keep the source files and the person able to explain the token structure available during review. Do not submit conflicting figures in an attempt to fit different forms.

We help you prepare and check the information, then organize follow-up responses around the evidence already assembled. If you are comparing the broader CoinGecko listing requirements with a focused supply update, keep those requests distinct: eligibility for a listing and the substantiation of circulating supply are related but separate review questions.

There is no useful shortcut around a clear explanation. If the underlying allocation records are incomplete, resolve that first. If the figure is already supported, prioritize accuracy, concise explanations, and documentation that is easy to match to each wallet or supply category.

What do you receive, and how long does the work take?

You receive a reviewed supply calculation, an evidence pack, and prepared submission materials for the agreed platforms. The schedule is set after we see the project records, because document readiness and the number of unresolved allocation questions shape the preparation work.

The service typically covers:

• An intake review of contract, supply, and allocation information.
• A structured table of relevant balances and their stated treatment.
• A consistency check across the supplied public materials.
• Draft explanations and supporting documents for submission.
• Coordination of platform follow-up using the assembled evidence.

We agree the scope before starting, including which platforms and supply questions are in scope. The work can move from data collection to a submission-ready pack once the project has supplied the necessary records and answered open questions. Platform review then has its own timeline, outside the preparation phase.

The service starts at $1,390 / project. To keep work efficient, nominate one project contact who can confirm wallet purposes and provide source documents. If a token migration or major supply change is underway, settle the current figures and public wording before asking platforms to review them.

What can and cannot be promised?

We can promise the agreed preparation work and delivery of the agreed submission materials; we cannot decide how a platform classifies supply or when it completes a review. Algorithms, listing reviews, and any volume requirements are controlled by the platform, and no service can guarantee acceptance, a particular displayed figure, price, virality, or organic volume.

Treat the reported figure as a measurement under a stated methodology, not a permanent universal fact. A change in vesting, emissions, treasury use, or token availability may require the project to revisit its calculation and supporting explanation. If the facts change after submission, update the evidence rather than trying to preserve an outdated number.

Before approving a submission, ask:

• Can every excluded balance be tied to a specific reason and supporting record?
• Do tokenomics materials and platform profiles use compatible figures?
• Is there a named contact who can explain the methodology if questions arise?
• Are any allocations, locks, or contract changes unresolved?

If a platform flags a profile or requests corrections, first identify the exact discrepancy and respond with relevant evidence. Our profile remediation service can help organize that work. For a broader view of the available support, see verification services.

When should supply verification be paired with other listing work?

Pair supply verification with other listing work when the project is preparing a first profile, correcting inconsistent public information, or updating token details across multiple trackers. Coordinating the work helps keep the project name, contract data, tokenomics, and supply explanations aligned.

A focused supply review is a good fit when the main issue is the calculation and evidence behind circulating supply. Add a listing service when the token also needs a new or updated platform profile. If the contract or token identity changed, handle that change as a separate workstream and make sure the supply records refer to the current token details.

Useful adjacent work may include:

• A CoinMarketCap community verification request for a separate community profile matter.
• A CoinGecko listing or CoinMarketCap listing when listing coverage is also in scope.
• An explorer token information update when public on-chain metadata needs attention.

Choose the smallest scope that resolves the actual issue. Before combining services, make a single source of truth for token details and assign an owner to approve changes. That avoids sending different versions of the supply story to different platforms.

How it works

1. 1. Intake the token dataShare contract details, supply figures, allocation records, and relevant public documentation. We identify missing information before drafting.
2. 2. Reconcile balancesWe organize relevant balances and record the project's explanation for each included or excluded category.
3. 3. Review consistencyWe compare the proposed figure and supporting explanation with the materials supplied for public use, then flag conflicts or gaps.
4. 4. Prepare submissionsWe prepare the agreed platform materials and arrange evidence so each statement can be traced to its supporting record.
5. 5. Coordinate follow-upWe help organize responses to platform questions using the evidence pack. Platform review remains with the platform.
