Total number of coins available for use in the market, for the public, and trading.

The circulating supply of a cryptocurrency is almost always lesser, by some distance than its maximum supply. The remaining supply is slowly released over time through mining, liquidity rewards, or some other mechanism embedded in the token design.

Circulating supply indicates the quantity of the tokens available relative to the quantity already created (total supply) and the quantity that will ever be created (max supply). Circulating supply can be a good indicator of a token's scarcity but doesn't account for lost or stolen tokens.

Databases and software run on servers that can be accessed from the internet.

There are servers in the cloud that are accessible from anywhere online. This suggests that users can access their files or information on many devices, regardless of the device on which it is kept, as data centers assist in storing such data or information on their behalf.

The banking industry is increasingly using the cloud. Its use has repeatedly been shown to lower expenses, expand storage capacity, and facilitate remote work.

Technique for encrypting information into an elusive format.

A cipher is a technique that is used in cryptography to encrypt information into formats that can't be easily figured out. With the help of a cipher, a miner’s information will not be accessed, or infringed by any third party, working to secure information.

For miners to gain access to their information, they must possess a key for them to be able to decipher the encrypted information. The power of the key, which can be in the form of numbers or letters, is not necessarily determined by its type or size but by its security maintenance.
