## Measure Demand

### Transaction Fees Paid

**Metric:** Real Economic Value (REV)

**Definition:** The total fees paid to execute a transaction onchain. This includes both the traditional gas fees required for inclusion onchain and additional fees paid to transaction execution services (e.g., Jito, Flashbots, Timeboost).

* It's used as a proxy for users' willingness to pay, capturing all transaction fees to better reflect real demand (excludes app-level fees like DEX swap costs).

### Revenue

**Metric:** Estimated Optimism Collective Revenue (Collective Revenue)

**Definition:** The amount of ETH expected to be earned by the Optimism Collective from revenue sharing.

**Calculation:** For each chain, take the greater of (a) 2.5% of Chain Revenue or (b) 15% of Net Onchain Profit. OP Mainnet contributes 100% of Net Onchain Profit.

Did you really mean 'Onchain'?
* **Chain Revenue:** Sum of the L1 Data Fee + L2 Base Fee + L2 Priority Fee + L2 Operator Fee (Also includes any additional fee types added in the future.)
* *L1 Gas Fees:*\* Total gas fees spent by the chain on L1 in transaction batches (including blob costs) and state output submissions or dispute games.
* **Transaction Batches:** All transactions where the transaction from address is the `batcherHash` address and the transaction to address is the `batchInbox` as defined in the chains' `SystemConfigProxy` contract.
* **State Output Submissions or Dispute Games:** All transactions where the transaction from address is the `Proposer` and the transaction to address is either the `outputOracleProxy` or the `disputeGameFactoryProxy` as defined in the chains' `SystemConfigProxy` contract.
* Each chain's `SystemConfigProxy` contract can be found in the Superchain Registry.

* **Resolving Dispute Games:** All transactions sent to dispute game contracts created by the `disputeGameFactoryProxy`, where the transaction's method id (function call) is either `Resolve`, `ResolveClaim`, or `ClaimCredit`.

* This is what the Optimism Collective earns by operating the Superchain, which can be directed by governance to support ecosystem growth.

**Calculation:** The sum of all USD value of assets locked in applications, as reported by DefiLlama.

* TVL can be priced in USD or a crypto asset like ETH, but both are subject to price volatility. USD is often used because it's easier to interpret and consistent across the broader crypto ecosystem.

**Why it Matters:** TVL represents the supply side of onchain economic activity for use in protocols such as Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) and lending markets. Strong TVL in the right places may enable greater onchain demand.

#### How to Measure Growth: Net TVL Flows

Because TVL is influenced by market fluctuations, it can be misleading when trying to measure true growth or user behavior. Net TVL Flows can adjust for this by tracking the net change in token balances, valued at current prices.

**Calculation:** ( `# of Tokens on Day N` - `# of Tokens on Day 0` ) \* `Price of Tokens on Day N`

**Example:** If an app has 100,000 ETH locked on Day 0 when ETH/USD is $2,000, and 90,000 ETH locked at $3,000 on Day N:

* Net TVL Flows = −10,000 ETH × $3,000 = $30 million in net outflows
* Naive TVL change would suggest growth: $200 million → $270 million

## Network Usage & Infrastructure

**Metric:** Gas Used per Second (gas/s)

**Definition:** "Gas refers to the unit that measures the amount of computational effort required to execute specific operations on Ethereum" (ethereum.org). Gas Used is tracked as an average rate per second for simplicity.

Did you really mean 'Ethereum'?

**Why it Matters:** Gas, sometimes referred to as blockspace, is the limited resource that blockchains provide. Gas used shows how much of that resource is actually being consumed.

**Caution:** Gas is only comparable across chains that use Ethereum-equivalent gas units.

### User Experience (UX)

**Metric:** Median Transaction Fee (USD)

**Definition:** The median gas fee paid to submit a transaction, expressed in USD for simplicity and easier comparison across ecosystems.

**Calculation:** Median of all transaction fees over a period of time, marked at the USD price at the time of the transaction.

**Why it Matters:** This metric serves as a proxy for the cost to transact. Lower median fees enable broader usage by reducing friction, lowering breakeven costs, and unlocking use cases that would otherwise be cost-prohibitive.

## Market Share

**Definition:** The Superchain's share of a broader market segment for any measure (e.g., L2s, total crypto).

**Why it Matters:** Market share helps isolate whether growth is driven by the Superchain itself, or is simply part of a broader market trend. A rising share signals outperformance, while a declining share suggests that other ecosystems are growing faster.
