prefix - Describes the sector/protocol/category type this metric applies to
root - Core concept or value being measured.
suffix - Describes the unit or transformation
- no suffix means usd, not in currency units, or not a change metric

Cash Flow Metrics
Cash Flow Metric Prefixes: the “bucket” to whom the fee accrues
service- revenue accrued to service providers of the protocol (LPs, compute providers, etc.)equity- revenue accrued to the equity entityfoundation- revenue accrued to the protocol foundationtoken- revenue accrued to passive token holdersfee_sharing_token- revenue accrued to active holders (eg. veAERO, vePENDLE)treasury- revenue accrued to the governance-controlled protocol treasuryburned- portion of the fee that is burned (eg. ETH base fees)buyback- portion of fee that is allocated to buybacks
aggregator_treasury_revenue
Cash Flow Metric Roots
fees- what is paid by end usersfees- top line revenue (equivalent to the sum of all individualfees, oryield_generatedby the protocol)cash_flow- the value retained by an entity (eg. the ecosystem, validators, treasury, foundation)
Cash Flow Suffixes
no suffix- the associated value is inUSDnative- the associated value is in native units (typically in a_by_tokentable)raw- the associated value is in decimal unadjusted native unitsnet_change- the value is the D/D abs changepct_changeif percent change
Supply Metrics
Supply Metric Roots
Supply side metrics are typically suffixed with_native and are denominated in the protocol’s own token.
gross_emissions- typically characterized as anything not in premine_unlocks, including things like token incentives or programmatic emissions. Typically sourced from onchain data, or inferred from the whitepaper and docs.premine_unlocks- reserved for predetermined vesting of tokens (eg. insider/investor/team/etc token vesting). Typically sourced from the whitepaper and docs, or onchain data.burns- tokens permanently removed from circulating supplynet_supply_change- the sum of gross emissions, premine unlocks, and burns, on a day to day basis.circulating_supply- a cumulative sum over net supply change
Supply Metric Suffixes
native
Additional Notes
Suffixes can be stringed together eg.tvl_native_net_change
