The total value of a token's circulating supply, calculated as the current price multiplied by circulating supply. Market cap is the most common metric for comparing the relative size of different tokens. It differs from FDV, which uses max supply instead. Market cap rankings (e.g., SOL as a top-5 token) reflect both price appreciation and supply dynamics.

The number of tokens currently available and tradeable in the open market, excluding locked, vesting, or otherwise restricted tokens. Circulating supply is used to calculate market capitalization (price times circulating supply). It increases as vesting schedules unlock tokens and decreases as tokens are burned. The gap between circulating and max supply indicates future dilution potential.
Fully Diluted Valuation—the theoretical market capitalization if all tokens (including locked, vesting, and unminted) were in circulation, calculated as current token price multiplied by maximum supply. FDV provides a forward-looking valuation metric. A large gap between market cap and FDV indicates significant future token emissions that could create sell pressure as locked tokens unlock.

A protocol that enables token swaps using algorithmic pricing against pooled liquidity instead of matching individual buyers and sellers. AMMs use mathematical formulas (typically constant product x*y=k) to determine prices based on the ratio of tokens in a liquidity pool. On Solana, major AMMs include Raydium, Orca, and Meteora.
An AMM design where liquidity providers concentrate their capital within specific price ranges instead of across the full 0-to-infinity range. CLMMs dramatically improve capital efficiency—LPs earn more fees per dollar deposited within their active range. If the price moves outside the range, the position becomes inactive. Orca Whirlpools and Raydium CLMM are leading implementations on Solana.
A smart-contract-held reserve of two or more tokens that enables trading via an AMM. Users deposit token pairs in specified ratios to become liquidity providers and earn trading fees. Pools are identified by their token pair and fee tier. Pool depth (total value locked) determines price impact for trades.
A token issued to liquidity providers representing their proportional share of a pool's reserves and accrued fees. LP tokens can be burned to withdraw the underlying assets. The value of LP tokens changes as the pool's token ratios shift and fees accumulate. LP tokens are often stakeable in yield farming programs for additional rewards.
