The Current Status and Evaluation Methods of the DeFi Market

The DeFi market has shown a vigorous development trend in recent years, expanding to multiple public chains and layer two networks. Currently, DEX, lending, and Staking have become the main application scenarios, while emerging fields such as derivatives trading and cross-chain bridges are also continuously emerging. It is worth noting that these core DeFi protocols are usually the first projects to be deployed in the new ecosystem.

With the continuous improvement of the DeFi ecosystem, more and more innovative applications are striving to optimize user experience. For those seeking investment opportunities, DeFi projects in the emerging blockchain ecosystem may hold potential, especially those protocols built on emerging Layer 1 or Layer 2 networks.

When evaluating DeFi protocols, the following key metrics can be considered:

Total Value Locked (TVL)
Number of Users
Trading Volume
Protocol Revenue
Market Value (MV)
Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV)
Market Value to Total Value Locked Ratio (MV/TVL)
Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S)
Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E)
Innovation

These indicators can comprehensively reflect the operational status, user recognition, and future development potential of a DeFi protocol. Investors and analysts can take these factors into account to conduct a more accurate assessment of DeFi projects.

With the continuous advancement of blockchain technology and the ongoing evolution of the DeFi ecosystem, we have reason to believe that more innovative DeFi applications will emerge in the future, providing users with a richer and more convenient financial service experience.
