1. How to evaluate crypto with DeFi metrics - 𝕏/@patfscott

πŸ’¬ TL;DR: Crypto investing is shifting from hype and charts to onchain fundamentals as DeFi protocols provide real-time transparent financial data. The core metrics to evaluate projects are TVL (trust/liquidity), fees and revenue (protocol income and value capture), volume and open interest (activity for DEXs/perps), and stablecoin market cap (true capital inflows to chains). Effective analysis requires pairing stock metrics with flow metrics, focusing on steady consistency rather than short-lived spikes, and accounting for token incentives and unlock schedules to judge whether growth and valuations are sustainable. β€” @Danicjade
