Token FDV: Why Two Dashboards Can Show Different Values

Fully diluted valuation is price × total supply. Dashboards differ on both inputs — which pool sets the price and what counts as total supply.

Short answer

FDV = price × total (or max) supply. DEX Screener computes FDV from total supply minus burned supply times price; other sources may use max supply or exclude different amounts, and use prices from different pools or times. CoinGecko's fdv_usd can also be null. Before comparing FDVs, check the supply definition, burned or locked exclusions, the price source and the time of each reading.

Why do FDVs differ?

Supply definitions and price sources.

How does DEX Screener compute FDV?

(Total − burned supply) × price.

Can FDV be null?

Yes, on some sources.

Sources and methodology

DEX Screener behaviour comes from its official documentation; pool and token concepts from CoinGecko, Uniswap, Raydium and Solana documentation, as read on 17 October 2026. Examples use illustrative numbers and do not refer to any real token. Nothing here is a recommendation to trade any token.

  1. DEX Screener: Token listing — listing after first liquidity and trade; supply inputs.
  2. CoinGecko onchain API: Top pools by token address (pool schema) — pool fields and nullability (fdv_usd, market_cap_usd, reserve_in_usd).
