Repository

Components
This proposal highlights a suggestion for the addition of a feature to coingecko home page. An additional feature of total supply and token/coin holders, I think will increase the users of coingecko.
Proposal Description
My proposal is simple, an additional set of data that displays the total supply and token holders (i.e, the number of wallets on the blockchain that possess that particular token/coin) to the list displayed on their home page. Check out my a rough edit I did as an example in the image below.

Benefits
The essence of coingecko is mainly to provide crypto traders with statistical data which will be used in analysing coins and making trading decisions. As a crypto trader, one of the first things you consider about a coin before investing in it is it's total supply. Now not just the supply, also the amount of holders, this will also give insights on how well the token is in circulation or if it is controlled by a few holders. These are decisions traders take, and coingecko providing tools to making that decision would be a plus to them over their competitors.

Showing 8.65 Million / 21 Million ( 8.65 million is in circulation and 21 million will be the total supply of the coin.

I think you put more focus on just the supply aspect, adding the number of token holders might be a tough task but surely is a step ahead of competitors. Also having to open the tab of each token to view the total supply could be stressful atimes, fixing it to the main large would be a better option.
Thank you for your review, @tykee!
So far this week you've reviewed 1 contributions. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the suggestion, our main page will be going through a rehaul soon, you will see it :)
Our open source repository is mainly to connect with exchange APIs; it is powering one of the core component of our website at https://www.coingecko.com
That being said as for supply holders, you can actually find those information on the coin page. Here is an example https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/huobi-token
You will be able to see how we derive the numbers and the reported locked balance.
Having said that, it is really challenging keeping tabs of all these information and our team is working diligently to bring the most accurate data possible.
This is good to hear, you know clicking and having to be redirected to the main site to get this info, especially when analysing multiple tokens could be very tiring and discouraging.
