Overview

The Total Supply Monitor is a daily monitoring tool that tracks the total supply of a token contract on a blockchain network. It queries on-chain mint and burn event logs via Dune Analytics and compares the result against user-defined expected values. An alert is emitted on every scheduled run:
  • Info — the current issued supply is within the expected limit (no anomaly detected)
  • Warning / custom — the current issued supply exceeds the expected issued amount (potential over-minting)

Expected Total Supply

The hard cap or maximum authorised supply of the token, expressed as a whole-unit integer (i.e. already divided by token decimals). Example: for a token with a 1 billion cap and 18 decimals, set this to 1000000000.

Expected Total Issued

The maximum number of tokens that should currently be in circulation. The detector compares the live on-chain issued supply against this value.
  • If current issued supply ≤ expected_total_issuedInfo alert (supply is within bounds)
  • If current issued supply > expected_total_issuedWarning alert (supply exceeds expectation)

Decimals

The number of decimal places used by the token contract. Used to convert raw on-chain values to human-readable units before comparison. Most ERC-20 tokens use 18 decimals. Override this for tokens that use a different precision (e.g. USDC uses 6).

Severity

Controls the severity level assigned to mismatch alerts (when the issued supply exceeds expected_total_issued).
  • Info alerts are always emitted when the supply is within bounds, regardless of this setting.
  • This field only affects the severity of anomaly alerts.

Alert Metadata

Every alert emitted by this monitor includes the following fields in its metadata:
