Nockchain's NOCK Token Hits 44% Gain, But Market Cap Mismatch Raises Questions

Nockchain (NOCK) is a proof-of-work blockchain that differs from traditional blockchains by producing verifiable computations as output, rather than raw hash guessing.

The project's native token, NOCK, has a maximum supply of exactly 4,294,967,296, which is the largest value a 32-bit unsigned integer can hold.

Nockchain launched its mainnet on May 21, 2025, and its price rose by 44.16% across seven sessions ending September 5, 2026, reaching $0.0213900908.

The market cap is calculated from a native-layer-1 circulating supply, but the price comes from an ERC-20 contract on Base, which has a different totalSupply of 1,492,380,399.83 tokens.
