Dimension 1
Market
Which market does the entity serve, how large is it, and what are the alternatives?
Guiding questions
- Which market segment (DEX, lending, stablecoin, staking, RWA)?
- What share of that segment, measured by what?
- Which chains is the entity present on?
What the data can answer here
TVL, pool count and chain distribution per protocol are available and aggregable in the Explorer.
Limit
Share by TVL is not share by revenue or users — the same entity can rank differently in each of the three.
Institutional questions
- Bank
- Is the segment large and stable enough to justify an internal product line?
- Insurance
- How much of the book would concentrate in this one segment?
- Asset management
- Can a position of the intended size be built in this segment at all?
- Advisory
- Can the segment be explained to a client in two sentences?
