  Cardano (ADA) has a maximum supply of 45 billion coins. However, not all of these coins are in circulation yet. The total supply will be gradually released over time through a process called 'minting'. This means that the current circulating supply is lower than the maximum supply. As of now, around 31 billion ADA coins are in circulation. The remaining coins will be minted through a combination of block rewards and treasury rewards, which will be distributed to stakeholders and used for the development of the Cardano ecosystem.

  The total number of Cardano (ADA) coins that will ever be created is 45 billion. However, it's important to note that not all of these coins are currently in circulation. The supply is gradually released over time to ensure a controlled and sustainable growth of the ecosystem. This approach helps to prevent inflation and maintain the value of the currency. As of now, around 31 billion ADA coins are in circulation, and the remaining coins will be minted according to the protocol's rules and incentives.

  According to the Cardano protocol, the total supply of ADA coins will be 45 billion. However, it's worth mentioning that the distribution of these coins will occur gradually over time. This approach ensures a fair and controlled release of new coins, preventing market manipulation and excessive inflation. As of now, approximately 31 billion ADA coins are in circulation. The remaining coins will be minted through a combination of block rewards and treasury rewards, which will incentivize stakeholders and support the growth of the Cardano ecosystem. It's important to keep in mind that the total supply is fixed and will not increase beyond 45 billion ADA coins.
