✨ |Data check|

The #RealYield Real Yield narrative stems from a discussion of GMX Yield. GMX holders get 30% of the total platform revenue, while GLP holders get the remaining 70%. Important: These fees are paid in ETH or AVAX, not an additional issuance of platform tokens. The criterion for assessing the true benefit can be: average the total fees captured in the previous period minus the emission of the protocol tokens in the same period, and then divide by the total fees for this period.

  • @DeFiman released a survey of real yield protocols that concluded that only 2 of the top 20 blockchain protocols fit the sustainable #RealYield narrative. The two protocols are x2y2 and GMX.

  • It is calculated as: Net Revenue = Protocol Revenue - Value of Protocol Emissions. Since some protocols work on a block-by-block basis while others work on a custom epoch basis, each protocol can be annualized for comparison. Does not take into account the total supply of staked/locked vs. unstakes/unlocked, nor the distribution of fees between token holders and the DAO.

  • Distributing real benefits and distributing real benefits sustainably are two concepts that need to be treated differently. There are 6 protocols that distribute real earnings to token holders: Synthetix, GMX, LooksRare, X2Y2, Convex, and Curve. During the statistical period, the protocol with the most weekly distribution is Synthetix. However, since Synthetix's net income is negative, the sustainability of its real distribution is questionable.

  • Lama Airforce, the data platform officially linked by Curve, shows that, except for the steth pool with the highest TVL and the second-highest 3pool, which gradually show a trend that the fee income is greater than the additional issuance, the remaining guages are almost always in a state where the additional issuance is greater than the fee income.

  • Synthetix rewards SNX stakers with two income streams: SNX inflation and sUSD trading fees. $SNX stakers receive an APY of 57.5% which includes 51.6% from SNX inflation yield and 5.89% $sUSD trading fees.
