# FAQ

### What is Market Capitalization and how is it calculated?

Market Capitalization, also known as circulating market capitalization, is one of the metrics used to measure the relative size of a cryptocurrency. It is calculated by multiplying the token/coin Price by Circulating Supply.

*Market Capitalization = Current Price x Circulating Supply*

### What is the difference between *Circulating Supply* and *Max Supply*?

***Circulating Supply*** is the best approximation of the number of coins that are circulating in the market and in the general public's hands.

***Max Supply*** is the best approximation of the maximum amount of coins that will ever exist in the lifetime of the cryptocurrency.

### How do you rate projects?

We have a detailed and publicly open-sourced rating methodology to ensure that our ratings meet three basic principles: independence, objectivity, and fairness.

Please refer to the [*Rating*](https://tokeninsight.gitbook.io/support/methodologies/rating) section of the [*methodology*](https://tokeninsight.gitbook.io/support/methodologies) for detailed information on this topic.

### What is your rating process?

Note that the actual process does not strictly follow the listing process. Below is a general and rough rating guideline for you to intuitively understand our business better.

* Collect project information via our due diligence sheet from the target project.
* Run our rating model by utilizing the data collected.
* Complete the pre-rating process, which gives an initial rating score, and discusses with our client for additional information we need.
* Re-run our rating model by utilizing the additional data provided.
* Complete the draft report version, and send it to the project for facts checking and verification of the final result.
* Adjust the discrepancies if necessary, and then publish the official report on our channels.

### What does verified mean on the Newly Listed page?

TokenInsight divided all listed cryptocurrencies and projects into 3 tiers. Tracked, Verified, and Unverified. Each tier's definition is shown as follows:

* ***Unverified Listing***: Projects that meet our ***Listing Guidelines 1-3*** and their price data, supply data, and basic information were processed and revealed automatically rather than being reviewed by the TokenInsight Research team.
* ***Verified Listing***: Projects that meet our ***Listing Guidelines 1-5*** and price data, supply data, and basic information are processed and reviewed by our analysts. Verified projects are marked by a tick beside the project's name on the cryptocurrency page (Currently, the tick only shows up on our recently-added page. )
* ***Tracked Listing***: Projects that meet our ***Listing Guidelines 1-7*** and exhibit strengths in a number of areas of our *Rating Model*.
