Model Cards

The asset page uses the model set assigned to its asset class.

Protocol economics

FDV / Fees

Compares fully diluted value with annualized fees.

Model-implied value method Applies a fee multiple range to protocol fees.

Core inputs

FDVannualized feesfee multiple

Fees may not accrue to tokenholders.

Protocol revenue

FDV / Protocol Revenue

Capitalizes protocol revenue where revenue definitions are sourceable.

Model-implied value method Applies a revenue multiple range to protocol revenue.

Core inputs

protocol revenuerevenue multiplecapture policy

Definitions vary across data vendors.

Capital efficiency

TVL Efficiency

Relates revenue and usage to capital locked in the protocol.

Model-implied value method Scores revenue per unit of TVL and converts it into a model adjustment.

Core inputs

TVLfeesprotocol revenueutilization

High efficiency can reflect higher risk or incentives.

Usage intensity

Utilization Model

Models value through lending, liquidity, or protocol utilization.

Model-implied value method Applies utilization scenarios to revenue capacity.

Core inputs

utilizationspreadsliquidity depth

Utilization should be risk-adjusted.

Value capture

Tokenholder Capture

Tests whether protocol activity translates into token-level economics.

Model-implied value method Applies a tokenholder capture rate to protocol economics.

Core inputs

protocol revenuecapture rategovernance policy

Weak capture can make strong protocol metrics less relevant.

Balance sheet and optionality

Treasury / Option Value

Assesses treasury assets and governance option value.

Model-implied value method Adds discounted treasury and option components to operating models.

Core inputs

treasurystrategic optionsgovernance rights

Option value is subjective and should stay scenario-based.

Method Rating Panel

Confidence scores are class-level method ratings, not asset guidance.

Medium confidence

68/100

Protocol revenue evidence

DeFi protocols can expose good data, but token-level capture is often the limiting factor.

Medium confidence

66/100

Capital efficiency

TVL efficiency is useful when utilization and risk are measured together.

Scenario Simulator

A local assumption shell for scenario sensitivity.
