Basic Request

curl https://rpc.orbitflare.com -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "getTokenSupply",
  "params": [
    "EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v"
  ]
}'

​

Using web3.js

import { Connection, PublicKey } from '@solana/web3.js';

const connection = new Connection('https://rpc.orbitflare.com');

// Get token supply
const mint = new PublicKey('EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v');
const supply = await connection.getTokenSupply(mint);
console.log('Token supply:', supply);

// Get token supply with analysis
async function getTokenSupplyWithAnalysis(
  mint: PublicKey,
  config: { commitment?: string }
) {
  const supply = await connection.getTokenSupply(mint, config);
  
  return {
    supply,
    analysis: {
      rawAmount: BigInt(supply.value.amount),
      formattedAmount: supply.value.uiAmountString,
      decimals: supply.value.decimals,
      metadata: {
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        commitment: config.commitment
      }
    }
  };
}

​

Notes

1. Returns the total supply of a token mint
2. The supply includes all tokens in circulation
3. The response is immediate as it reads from the current state
4. The supply can change with token minting and burning
5. The mint must be a valid token mint

​

Best Practices

1. Use appropriate commitment level based on your needs
2. Cache results when appropriate to reduce RPC load
3. Monitor for changes in token supply
4. Consider using websocket subscription for real-time updates
5. Handle network errors and retry when appropriate

Use Cases

1. Token Supply Analysis

     mint: string;
     supply: {
       rawAmount: string;
       formattedAmount: string;

       maxSupply?: string;
       burnedAmount?: string;

       timestamp: number;
       commitment?: string;
     };
   }
   
   class TokenSupplyAnalyzer {
     private readonly maxSupply: Record<string, bigint> = {
       'EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v': BigInt(1000000000000000) // USDC
     };
     
     async analyzeTokenSupply(
       mint: PublicKey,
       config: { commitment?: string }
     ): Promise<TokenSupplyAnalysis> {
       const supply = await connection.getTokenSupply(mint, config);
       const rawAmount = BigInt(supply.value.amount);
       const maxSupply = this.maxSupply[mint.toBase58()];
       
       return {
         mint: mint.toBase58(),
         supply: {
           rawAmount: supply.value.amount,

           circulatingSupply: supply.value.uiAmountString,
           inflationRate: maxSupply ? Number((rawAmount * BigInt(100)) / maxSupply) : undefined

     async monitorTokenSupply(
       mint: PublicKey,
       config: { commitment?: string }
     ): Promise<TokenSupplyChange | null> {
       const supply = await connection.getTokenSupply(mint, config);
       const currentAmount = supply.value.amount;
       const previousAmount = this.previousSupply.get(mint.toBase58());
       
       if (previousAmount && previousAmount !== currentAmount) {
         const difference = BigInt(currentAmount) - BigInt(previousAmount);
         const percentageChange = Number((difference * BigInt(100)) / BigInt(previousAmount));
         
         this.previousSupply.set(mint.toBase58(), currentAmount);
