1/ Some quick comments, just so everyone knows we're trying to find a way to standardize this stuff 😃

We currently measure revenue as total fees paid -- since not all projects have fee splits implemented -- to make the revenue figures more comparable.

2/ Trading fee for Kyber is 0.2% = divided 70/30 between KNC holders and LPs.

Trading fee for Balancer is 0.38% (weighted avg) = divided 0/100 between BAL holders and LPs.

So, for Kyber we're not measuring just KNC holder revenues, but the total amount of fees generated.

3/ Right now, we've tried to find one methodology that would be as broadly applicable as possible.

End result: GMV * Take Rate = Revenue

As the crypto space matures, we'll be able to segment projects a lot better based on different factors.

4/ Today, we can segment projects based on where the revenue comes from:

1. Interest paid: Compound, Maker, Kava, Aave, etc.

GMV (outstanding borrows)
Take Rate (weighted avg. interest rate)
Revenue (GMV * Take Rate = total interest paid)

5/ Cont.

2. Transaction fees paid: the rest.

GMV (trading volume)
Take Rate (weighted avg. / constant tx fee)
Revenue (GMV * Take Rate = total tx fees paid)

fin/ Happy to hear how we can improve this!
