I was wondering how to measure "health" of the protocol.

Not sure if this makes sense, but I think it might be interesting to measure how many users are invested into the lending pools and how many users are using the pools to exchange there assets(borrow sth). Of course this won't give a perfect picture as users could use different addresses, but I guess some information is better than none. Would you be interested in adding sth like this/Does it make sense?

Best regards,
Lukas

Hi @sakulstra, thanks for the proposal.

Could you elaborate a bit more your idea of "health" in the context of the Aave pool? Are you understanding health as resilience to event considered as bad to the protocol?

@ernesto-usal I'm not quite sure about that myself.

Generally speaking i'd say the factor of health could be perceived as a mixture of:

• increasing/decreasing liquidity
• increasing/decreasing utilization
• increasing/decreasing usage of flash loans
• volatility of rates

I'm wondering if the protocol is "healthy and growing" just because a few users are making more and more use of it, or if sth like "adoption rate"(where the adoption rate describes the number of overall participating users) might be a relevant factor as well? I don't know if it is, but I think it might be interesting to monitor it - to see if there's some correlation or not.
