  "transactions": 177123,
  "disk_size": 38058240
}

total_amount here is ~29,014,665. The help section says "The total amount of coins in the UTXO set". But I see only "3,346.37 L-BTC in circulation" in the Liquid.Network explorer

Answer 1

It appears to be the sum of all outputs with explicit (unblinded) values across all assets (not just L-BTC).

This should be changed to something more meaningful with multiple/confidential assets.
