DeFi Blue Chip valuation [Thread]

As requested by @Arthur_0x

1. Market Cap/TVL

Measures the value of each $ locked in the protocol. Protocols that trade at higher multiples are not necessarily overvalued, as they often generate more revenue per $ of TVL
$UNI $AAVE $MKR $COMP Image
2. FDV/TVL

Similar to the previous metric except now we are looking at the fully diluted value (if all coins were in circulation).

$UNI $AAVE $MKR $COMP $SNX $SUSHI $YFI $CRV Image
3. Annual Revenue / TVL

This shows how much each $ locked generates in revenue. This metric helps explain the MKT/TVL ratio as it is clear the market assigns a premium for protocols that are more capital efficient.

4. Market Cap / Annualized Revenue

This metric compares how much each protocol is worth relative to its earnings. A high MKT/REV could either indicate an overvalued protocol or could indicate a high growth multiple priced in by the market.

5. Market Cap / # of Users

This effectively shows how much each user of the protocol is worth. A high MKT/User ratio can either indicate an overvalued protocol or that each individual user provides a lot of value. Again these metrics often require more than one to compare. Image
6. Revenue / # of Users

This paints a bit clearer picture than metric 5. We can see that $AAVE's high MKT/User is likely due to its high revenue per user whereas $SNX might be overvalued given that it's Rev/User does not match up with its MKT/User.

7. Closing thoughts

A reminder that any sole metric does give an accurate representation of whether a protocol is under or overvalued. However, by looking across a number of metrics and making comparisons we can get a better idea of a protocol's true valuation.

For those looking to learn a bit more about these blue-chip DeFi protocols, here is our summary of @SushiSwap, one of the most undervalued protocols according to these metrics.

Why @BalancerLabs will step into the spotlight as Defi's most Flexible and Efficient AMM [Thread]

$BAL was one of the first AMM's to provide liquidity through pools weighted by multiple tokens, unlike competitors such as $UNI offering 50/50 currency pairs 1/n Image
The protocol is backed by several leading funds, most notably @AlamedaResearch, @DeFianceCapital and @placeholdervc, playing a central roll in expanding their innovation further 2/n Image
The customizability of $BAL pools includes 6 pool variables and 3 pool types for liquidity providers to chose from, significantly more than traditional AMM's 3/n Image

Why @SushiSwap is one of the most overlooked DeFi protocols. [Thread]

Many see $Sushi as simply another AMM competitor to Uniswap. However, Sushi’s plans are to be more than just a DEX. They want to be the home of DeFi through the creation of a synergistic ecosystem. 1/n Image
@SushiSwap has partnered with several of the most well known DeFi protocols as part of their aggressive expansion strategy. These partnerships will allow Sushi to tap into additional liquidity and further build their Moat.

Let’s take a look into the various aspects of Sushi.

SushiSwap is the most well known part of the SushiSwap ecosystem. Similar to $UNI it uses a constant product market maker. Sushi does about 20% of all DEX volume and is expanding to become multi chain 3/n Image
