As of today, approximately 2,156,037,564 Optimism has been unlocked, which is 50.20% of Optimism’s total supply. Float is 50.20% of max supply (excluding burned tokens). The remaining tokens are still locked and will be released according to the vesting schedule.

Optimism uses cliff vesting, especially for Retroactive Public Goods Funding allocations. This means tokens are released all at once after a set waiting period, creating a delayed but significant supply event.

The circulating supply of Optimism is 2,290,771,093 tokens, the total supply is 4,294,967,296 tokens, and the max supply is 4,294,967,296 tokens. The total supply is all tokens that have been or will be created, including those that are still locked. The max supply is the max amount of tokens to ever be in circulation. Since no Optimism tokens have been burned, the max supply is equal to the total supply.

Optimism’s FDV is $350,821,518 which reflects the market value if all 4,294,967,296 tokens were unlocked. This figure helps estimate long-term dilution risks.
