What Is the Difference between Fully Diluted Market Cap and Circulating Market Cap?

Circulating market cap is the total value of all tokens currently available and trading in the public market. Fully diluted market cap (FDMC) is the total value if the entire maximum supply of tokens were in circulation, including tokens that are locked, vested, or not yet minted.

FDMC is a measure of the project's long-term valuation.
