What should a Hong Kong project assemble for CoinGecko supply verification?
Prepare an evidence map that lets a reviewer follow your reported supply from the definition to supporting records. CoinGecko supply verification documents are most useful when they explain the project’s own calculation, rather than presenting a folder of unrelated files. The same approach applies whether the project is incorporated in Hong Kong or operates there; the jurisdiction alone does not establish how tokens should be counted.
Start with a dated statement that defines the supply figure you are asking CoinGecko to review. Then identify the token contract or contracts, chain, total supply information you rely on, and each material allocation category. For every category, note whether the tokens are circulating, held by the project, subject to a vesting or lock arrangement, or otherwise excluded under your stated definition. Do not assume a category is excluded simply because the project describes it as reserved.
A practical evidence map can include:
- A supply methodology note with the calculation date and source data.
- An allocation table connecting categories to wallet addresses or documented controls.
- Vesting, lock, treasury or distribution terms that explain restrictions.
- Public tokenomics or distribution disclosures that use the same figures.
Use circulating supply verification support if you want a specialist review of the file’s consistency before submission.
How do you connect circulating supply evidence to token allocations?
Connect each reported allocation to evidence that explains both the quantity and its status. A wallet address by itself shows an on-chain balance; it does not explain who controls the wallet, why the balance is held there, or whether the tokens are available for circulation under your stated methodology.
Build a reconciliation table with one row for each meaningful allocation. Include the category name, amount at the chosen snapshot, relevant address or addresses, control description, release conditions and the record that supports the description. Where a contract manages vesting or locking, identify it and provide the terms or public record that helps a reader understand the restriction. Where an address is controlled by a custodian, foundation or other party, explain that relationship without exposing credentials or confidential signing information.
Before calling the file ready, check these points:
- The sum of allocation rows reconciles with the supply figures in your note.
- Addresses are copied accurately and labeled consistently across files.
- Any exclusions have a written reason and supporting terms.
- Snapshot dates and units are explicit; token decimals are not confused with whole-token amounts.
If the calculation is not reproducible from the records, pause and resolve the discrepancy rather than relying on a broad narrative. The circulating supply evidence guide can help structure the calculation and its supporting trail.
Which public records help explain a Hong Kong token supply?
Public information helps a reviewer compare your submission with what the project says elsewhere. It should corroborate the supply explanation, not substitute for wallet-level or allocation evidence. Gather the pages and documents a reader can actually access, record their URLs and dates, and check that token names, chain details, supply figures and allocation labels agree.
For a Hong Kong project, relevant public context may include an available company or foundation profile, a project website, tokenomics materials, governance disclosures and announcements about vesting or distribution. Include corporate information only when it clarifies which entity or project party is responsible for a token allocation. Do not treat incorporation paperwork as proof of on-chain balances or circulating status.
Use a simple cross-check before submission:
- Search the project’s own public channels for older figures that remain visible.
- Compare the current tokenomics page with the dated supply note.
- Make clear whether a document is a public disclosure, a signed internal record or an on-chain reference.
- If a correction is needed, update the source page and retain a record of what changed.
Keep a private evidence folder for records that should not be published, and a separate set of shareable links. If token details also need updating in an explorer, explorer token information and logo updates address that separate public-facing task.
How can you make CoinGecko supply evidence easier to review?
A review-ready file is concise, internally consistent and easy to verify without asking the reader to infer how numbers connect. Put the supply definition and calculation summary first, then order the supporting evidence to match the allocation table. Use descriptive filenames and include a date or version in each document where appropriate.
A useful package usually has a short cover note, a reconciliation table, referenced source records and a list of public URLs. In the cover note, identify the token, chain, relevant contracts and the exact supply figure under review. Point each allocation row to its source instead of repeating long explanations in several places. If a record contains sensitive commercial or personal information, prepare a redacted copy for review and keep the unredacted source under controlled access.
Before sending, have someone who did not build the spreadsheet follow one allocation from the reported figure to its evidence. Ask them to flag any missing link, ambiguous label or date mismatch. This is a practical quality check, not a claim about CoinGecko’s internal review method. For broader listing preparation, see CoinGecko listing support; listing readiness and a supply evidence file are related but distinct workstreams.
What happens after you submit the supply file?
After submission, keep the evidence set stable and be ready to clarify a specific calculation, address label or allocation term. Maintain a record of the version sent, the public sources available at that point and any later changes to token distribution. If a figure or disclosure changes, update the reconciliation rather than sending an isolated correction with no context.
At MediaStrategy, a named supply-evidence consistency review checks whether the calculation, allocation labels and cited records tell the same story before the project submits. The review starts with a kickoff checklist covering the token and chain, the requested figure, relevant addresses, known restrictions and public links. The output is a concise gap list: what reconciles, what needs clarification and which source should be corrected or added. This gives the project team a clear handoff without implying that a third party has approved the submission.
CoinGecko controls its review, the evidence it accepts and any resulting classification or display; a project cannot determine those decisions by preparing a particular file. Our work is to organize and check the agreed evidence, not to promise an approval or a specific supply display.
To start, send the token and chain, your current supply breakdown and the public links you already use. We will confirm the scope of the consistency review and identify the records to prepare next.
Frequently asked questions
What documents support CoinGecko circulating supply evidence?
There is no fixed document list established here. A practical file combines a dated supply methodology, an allocation reconciliation, relevant wallet or contract references, and records explaining vesting, locks or other restrictions. Add public tokenomics and project disclosures that match those figures, and make clear which records are public and which are shared privately for review.
Does a Hong Kong company need different supply evidence?
A Hong Kong connection does not by itself explain how a token’s circulating supply was calculated. Assemble evidence around the token, allocations and relevant controls. Company or foundation information can clarify the relationship between a project party and an allocation, but it should not be presented as proof of token balances or circulation.
How long does CoinGecko supply verification take?
Preparation time depends on whether the team already has a reconciled allocation table, accessible source records and consistent public disclosures. Allow time to resolve address labels, mismatched figures or unclear restrictions before submission. CoinGecko controls its own review timing, so avoid treating a prepared evidence file as a timeline commitment.
Can a complete evidence file guarantee a CoinGecko supply update?
No. CoinGecko decides what evidence it accepts and how it handles the token’s supply information. A clear file can make the project’s calculation easier to assess, but it cannot determine the platform’s review outcome or display. A consistency review can identify gaps in your materials before you submit.
