when i use one of the above links and the below query, it also shows me weird numbers

query:
{
tokens(first: 5, orderBy:tradeVolumeUSD orderDirection:desc) {
id
symbol
name
decimals
totalSupply
}
}

result:
{
"data": {
"tokens": [
{
"id": "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2",
"symbol": "WETH",

"decimals": "18",
"totalSupply": "15640"
},

"decimals": "18",
"totalSupply": "14448"
}
]
}

token with correct totalSupply from etherscan:
weth - 15640 - 3276063798496846980898561
usdc - 14864 - 23398309739224635
usdt - 14448 - 44005847706828943
ust - 14448 - 295788247260048794239793908
mNFLX- 14448 - 3083201876426681305152

V3 shows the right totalSupply

Hey anyone working on it?

@simple-marvin The team wrote

The token.totalSupply is not a great field to try to utilize in this subgraph. When a token has a hard cap upon launch it should be fine, but we're making an eth call when the token is first recognized by the subgraph to get the totalSupply, then we don't update it afterwards.
Think about what the totalSupply of WETH was when the first WETH pool was created, since then more eth has been wrapped so the totalSupply has changed.

If they really want totalSupply for USDC, WETH, WSDT etc., this would probably need to be a different subgraph that can properly track this, or they can use RPC.

@itsjerryokolo Thanks for the reponse.

All totalSupplys are wrong, i know that weth, usdc, usdt,... have changing totalSupply, it just was an example (a bad example).
I am not really interested in those tokens (weth, usdc, usdt,...) more like in the below one.
RPC and other stuff are too slow, Graph is the perfect solution for my Project.

The totalSupply field seems to return a random number or is wrong or i dont know how to read it.

The ERC20 tokens from below have a completely wrong totalSupply and it's not just them, so far I haven't found a token that has a correct totalSupply.
