Models & Implied Value

Each model states what it measures and where its confidence breaks down.

Usage revenue

Usage Revenue Multiple

Capitalizes revenue tied to compute, storage, bandwidth, or other network services.

Model-implied value method Applies a multiple to verified usage revenue.

Core inputs

usage revenueutilizationmultiple range

Reported usage should be separated from subsidized activity.

Capacity use

Compute Utilization

Evaluates demand relative to available compute or node capacity.

Model-implied value method Scores utilization and converts it into a model adjustment.

Core inputs

capacityutilizationpricingretention

High utilization can be temporary if incentives dominate.

Supply-side economics

Node Economics

Assesses node operator incentives and service supply durability.

Model-implied value method Compares node revenue and emissions against required supply-side returns.

Core inputs

node revenueemissionshardware costoperator churn

Operator economics can change quickly with token price and demand.

Token emissions

Demand / Emissions Balance

Tests whether demand can absorb issuance or incentive emissions.

Model-implied value method Applies an emissions adjustment to usage-based value.

Core inputs

emissionsorganic demandretentionfloat

Weak demand-emissions balance can overwhelm usage growth.

Scenario premium

Narrative Premium

Separates narrative-driven demand from sourceable fundamentals.

Model-implied value method Applies a bounded narrative premium in scenario analysis.

Core inputs

attentioncategory growthfundamental evidence

Narrative premium should be capped and transparent.

Method Ratings

Method confidence reflects evidence quality, source availability, and token-level capture clarity.

Low confidence

42/100

Usage revenue evidence

The category needs better separation of organic demand from incentive-led activity.

Low confidence

45/100

Node economics

Operator economics and emissions are central but unevenly disclosed.

Scenario Simulator
