DeFi core metrics
We primarily collect and visualize wide range of decentralized finance applications.
Data sources
Our priority is collecting on-chain data directly from blockchains and smart contracts, ensuring it can be publicly queried.
We also maintain open tools and source code, enabling anyone to freely access data independently from their own computer.
Data classification
Each protocol listed on BunnyBoard is categorized into specific sectors, such as lending, staking, or synthetic assets, depending on the nature of its operations within the DeFi ecosystem. These categories help users quickly understand the core function of each protocol.
For each sector, BunnyBoard provides a unique set of data metrics tailored to measure the protocol's performance and key activities. These sector-specific metrics allow users to analyze each protocol's functionality and financial health in a way that is relevant to their specific domain, enabling a more insightful comparison between similar protocols within the DeFi ecosystem.
| Category (Sector) | Description |
|---|---|
| Lending | DeFi lending protocols are decentralized finance platforms that allows users to lend and borrow cryptocurrencies without relying on traditional financial institutions or intermediaries. |
| CDP | CDP protocols enable users to deposit crypto assets as collateral and issue debt tokens like stablecoins against this collateral. Borrowers can use these tokens for various DeFi activities while maintaining their exposure to the underlying crypto. |
| Dex (decentralized exchange) | They are platforms that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies directly with one another without the need for intermediaries. |
| Liquid staking | They allow users to stake their cryptocurrency while still maintaining liquidity. Normally, staking involves locking up tokens in a network to help secure the blockchain and participate in its consensus mechanism, typically in proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains. |
| Bridge & cross-chain | They enable the transfer of assets and data between different blockchain networks, overcoming the limitations of isolated blockchains. |
| Canonical bridge | Canonical bridges are the officially designated and trusted system used to transfer assets, such as tokens or cryptocurrency, between a base blockchain - known as Layer 1, and its associated scaling solutions, called Layer 2 blockchains. |
| Synthetic | DeFi synthetic protocols allow users to create and trade synthetic assets that replicate the value of real-world or digital assets like currencies, stocks, or commodities. |
