Key takeaways

  • The total amount of value locked in smart contracts has dropped from over $250 billion to slightly under $150 billion in just a few days as cryptoasset prices plummet.

Key takeaways

  • An increase in volatility and the unfortunate events around the depegging of TerraUSD have resulted in an increase in total trading volume throughout DeFi as investors search for security.

  • USD-denominated revenue is trending up despite the sharp decline in prices. This is mainly driven by the increased demand for exchanging cryptoassets.


📉Price to sales (P/S) ratio

How are projects priced relative to total fees/yield generated?

Top projects by latest P/S rations

This week’s top movers by P/S ratio

Key takeaways

  • P/S ratios have decreased across the board as the crypto market continues its downward trend.

  • Ethereum Name Service (ENS) saw a surge in revenue over the past weeks as speculators rushed to register all 3- and 4-digit ENS domains. This combined with a sharp decline in market cap has it sitting at a P/S ratio of under 5x.


📈Protocol revenue

Protocol revenue is the share of the total revenue that accrues to the benefit of token holders or the company behind the protocol.

Key takeaways

  • Despite a downwards trend in the market, we can see solid revenue growth among small- and mid-cap protocols.

  • Demand for swapping stablecoins increased substantially as investors searched for security after the depegging of TerraUSD (UST). Curve, and many decentralized exchange aggregators, saw sharp increases in trading volume.

  • As volatility in the market has increased, we’ve seen more activity on perpetual contracts exchanges such as dYdX.


📉Price to earnings (P/E) ratio

The 'E' in the P/E ratio is based on protocol revenue, i.e. the share of the total revenue that accrues to the benefit of token holders or the company behind the protocol.

Key takeaways

  • Both the P/S and P/E valuation multiples have decreased significantly as markets trend downwards and trading activity has increased.


*Note: We have excluded dapps & blockchains with revenue figures under $10k/week.
**Note: ‘change’ is calculated as a snapshot comparison, whereas ‘trend’ is calculated by comparing the given time interval against its previous time interval.
