Crypto aggregators and on-chain providers appear to be providing conflicting information regarding the supply of WLD tokens, raising concerns about the accuracy of the data.
in ×post On March 20th, Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik said that there is a difference between the circulating supply of WLD tokens reported by Worldcoin and the data shown on Optimism, where the token was migrated from Ethereum in 2023. He pointed out that there is a big difference. Svanevik compared data from crypto asset aggregators CoinGecko and Optimism Bridge. As a result of the protocol, a discrepancy of approximately 10 million WLD tokens in the circulating supply was revealed.
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju added that another crypto market aggregator, CoinMarketCap, also offers a contrasting view compared to on-chain data. Ju suggested that tokens whose information is circulating on a centralized aggregator appear to be self-reported by the World Coin team, which he labeled as “clearly false.”
However, in response, Remko Blumen, Head of Blockchain at WorldCoin, said that the difference in numbers could be due to the fact that more than 50 million Treasury Tokens are held in Optimism. Suggesting, “These tokens are [tokens] A bridge has been built, but there is no circulation. ”
At the time of writing, WorldCoin has not released any official statement regarding the difference between self-reported numbers and numbers displayed on-chain. Crypto.news reached out to Worldcoin for comment, but had not received a response at the time of publication.
