<p class="is-style-lead">Crypto aggregators and on-chain providers seem to provide contradictory information concerning the WLD token supply, prompting concerns regarding the accuracy of the data.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://twitter.com/ASvanevik/status/1770319487042019838" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">an X post</a> on Mar. 20, Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik pointed out a significant difference between <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/worldcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Worldcoin</a>‘s reported circulating supply of the WLD token and the data displayed on Optimism, where tokens were migrated from Ethereum in 2023. Svanevik compared data from crypto aggregator <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/coingecko/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinGecko</a> and the Optimism bridge protocol, uncovering a discrepancy of nearly 10 million WLD tokens in the circulating supply.</p>

<p>CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju added that another crypto market aggregator, <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/coinmarketcap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a>, also presents a contrasting view compared to on-chain data. Ju suggested that the token circulating information on centralized aggregators appears to be self-reported by the Worldcoin team, labeling it as “obviously wrong.”</p>

<p>However, in response, Remco Bloemen, Worldcoin’s head of blockchain, suggested that the difference in numbers may stem from the fact that over 50 million treasury tokens are held on Optimism, clarifying that “these [tokens] are bridged but not circulating.”</p>
<p>As of press time, Worldcoin has not issued any public statements addressing the difference between the self-reported figures and those displayed on-chain. Crypto.news reached out to Worldcoin for comment but had not received a response at the time of publication.</p>
