What To Compare

  • txcount for raw activity

  • daa for address-level activity

  • txcosts for median transaction costs

  • stables_mcap or tvl for value

Caveats

  • Different metrics answer different questions. Do not compare txcount and tvl as if they measured the same thing.

  • Exclude any chain whose deployment or deployment_flag is DEV or ARCHIVED.
