We are adding a new App Fees/Chain GDP metric to defillama, which will track the sum of fees on all apps in a chain (AAVE, uniswap...) with the goal of tracking economic activity
Should we add sequencer fees for L2s into GDP of L1? Why/why not?
Watched the ethereum movie, the two ethereum usecases they mention are *checks notes* decentralized uber and onchain passports, defi is not mentioned once
Can we move on from the 2017 ico usecases to the stuff that actually gets used and makes an impact?
something that i didnt expect when talking with tradfi institutions is that they see that defillama is opensource, think its like wikipedia, and conclude that anyone can submit anything with no checking
but we literally check every update and reject a bunch of them
everyone is missing the actual issues REV has as a metric: - Chains have varying levels of maturity in their MEV infrastructure (cowswap mev-protected rpcs..) - Some L2s don't have MEV tips, but chains do
So when you compare chains by REV you're not comparing apples to oranges
today i read an academic paper on the methodology of defillama and ngl i find it crazy to see financial institutions writing scientific papers on the work i do
> get sent a tweet with a defillama screenshot with numbers that seem too high for a project > wtf that's a bug, need to fix asap > investigate > turns out in the screenshot someone had *inspect element* increased the numbers on their project
