Overview

The Scaled UI Amount extension is a new feature introduced in the Solana Token 2022 Program. This extension allows token creators to give their assets stock-like behavior — supporting splits and visual adjustments in token quantity and price without actual on-chain transfers. Birdeye has added comprehensive support for this to ensure both transparency and usability while maintaining data accuracy and stability.

🧠 Core Concepts

What Is Scaled UI Amount?

• Scaled UI Amount introduces "shares" as a unit derived from the base token amount via a multiplier.
• Think of it like a stock split — your wallet still holds the same economic value, but shows more tokens ("shares").
• Underlying asset: Consider the real token (on-chain) as the base asset.
• Derived asset: Shares, or the visual token amount, adjusted for display and user reference.

🔍 How Birdeye Handles Scaled UI Amount

General Philosophy

• Birdeye treats Scaled tokens as derivatives of the base asset.
• We default to showing raw on-chain data to ensure consistency and accuracy.
• However, scaled metrics are displayed alongside to help users interpret data more intuitively.

📄 Token Detail Page Changes

1. Recent Trades Table

• ✅ Raw Mode (Default)
  • Amount: On-chain amount
  • Price: On-chain execution price
• 🆕 Scaled Mode (Toggle Option)
  • Amount: Amount * Multiplier
  • Price: Price / Multiplier

Users can switch between Raw and Scaled views using a toggle switch.

2. Candlestick Chart

• ✅ Default: Uses raw price and raw amount for consistency with market data.
• 🆕 Toggle to Scaled Mode:
  • Prices and amounts shown as "shares"
  • Each data point is scaled using the current multiplier

3. Supply Stats

• Total Supply: Always shown in raw (base token) amount.
• Circulating Supply: Always shown in raw amount.

This maintains alignment with on-chain explorers and official tokenomics.

4. New Fields on Token Stats Panel

🧩 New “Extensions” Tab

This is a dedicated section to explain and visualize Scaled UI logic for tokens that support it.

Included Components:

1. Price Comparison Chart
   • Shows both Raw Price and Scaled (Share) Price over time.
   • Helps users understand how scaling affects perception of value.
2. Multiplier History Chart
   • Interactive timeline of all multiplier updates.
   • Useful to trace events like stock-like splits or supply expansions.
3. Essential Info Panel

🔚 Summary

Birdeye’s UI provides tools to toggle, analyze, and visualize both raw and scaled views so users can make informed decisions without losing touch with reality.
