Cash Flow Metrics
Cash Flow Metric Prefixes: the “bucket” to whom the fee accrues
service
- revenue accrued to service providers of the protocol (LPs, compute providers, etc.)equity
- revenue accrued to the equity entityfoundation
- revenue accrued to the protocol foundationtoken
- revenue accrued to passive token holdersfee_sharing_token
- revenue accrued to active holders (eg. veAERO, vePENDLE)treasury
- revenue accrued to the governance-controlled protocol treasuryburned
- portion of the fee that is burned (eg. ETH base fees)buyback
- portion of fee that is allocated to buybacks

Cash Flow Metric Roots
fees
- what is paid by end usersfees
- top line revenue (equivalent to the sum of all individualfees
, oryield_generated
by the protocol)cash_flow
- the value retained by an entity (eg. the ecosystem, validators, treasury, foundation)
Cash Flow Suffixes
no suffix
- the associated value is inUSD
native
- the associated value is in native units (typically in a_by_token
table)raw
- the associated value is in decimal unadjusted native unitsnet_change
- the value is the D/D abs changepct_change
if percent change
Supply Metrics
Supply Metric Roots
Supply side metrics are typically suffixed with_native
and are denominated in the protocol’s own token.
gross_emissions
- typically characterized as anything not in premine_unlocks, including things like token incentives or programmatic emissions. Typically sourced from onchain data, or inferred from the whitepaper and docs.premine_unlocks
- reserved for predetermined vesting of tokens (eg. insider/investor/team/etc token vesting). Typically sourced from the whitepaper and docs, or onchain data.burns
- tokens permanently removed from circulating supplynet_supply_change
- the sum of gross emissions, premine unlocks, and burns, on a day to day basis.circulating_supply
- a cumulative sum over net supply change

Additional Notes
Suffixes can be stringed together eg.tvl_native_net_change
