Tokenomics & On-chain
What is fully diluted valuation (FDV) and how is it calculated?
Fully diluted valuation (FDV) is the theoretical value of a crypto project if every token in its maximum supply were in circulation at the current price. It is calculated by multiplying the current token price by the max supply. For example, a token priced at 2 dollars with a 1 billion max supply has an FDV of 2 billion dollars, even if only a fraction trades today. FDV signals how much future dilution is built into a token, so a high FDV relative to current market cap warrants caution.
