Ever feel like FDV numbers are just... off? 🤔

Here's the thing: Fully Diluted Valuation counts every single token that'll ever exist—even ones locked away for years. It's like valuing a company based on shares that haven't been issued yet.

Enter Outstanding Token Value (OTV). Think of it as the "what's actually out there right now" metric. Only counts tokens that are circulating or realistically accessible in the near term.

Why does this matter? Because OTV cuts through the noise. No more inflated numbers from tokens sitting in multi-year vesting schedules. You get a clearer snapshot of what the market's actually valuing today—not some theoretical future supply.

It's not perfect, but it's way more honest than pretending every locked token is part of the equation right now.

FDV is just a numbers game to fool newbies; I'm already tired of seeing it.

Someone should have systematically explained the OTV logic a long time ago. Those FDV numbers are indeed a joke. A real consensus mechanism requires transparent liquidity data; the locked token valuation model is essentially just a game of musical chairs.

This narrative from OTV sounds reassuring, but don’t be too superstitious about it… Locked tokens will have to be unlocked sooner or later. Pretending not to see it now is just burying your head in the sand.
