Network REV (Real Economic Value) is a standardized metric that tracks blockchain value accrual generated by user activity. REV consists of both in-protocol transaction fees and out-of-protocol tips that users pay for transaction execution, so it measures the monetary demand to transact onchain.

Network REV

Revenue generated by applications deployed across multiple chains is attributed to the specific chain where it is earned. Different versions of applications are combined under the parent application. For example, Uniswap V2 and V3 are combined as Uniswap.

The 1, 7, 30, 90, and 1Y parameters reflect the trailing lookback periods relative to the current day.

**Network REV**: A standardized metric that tracks blockchain value accrual generated by user activity. REV consists of both in-protocol transaction fees and out-of-protocol tips that users pay for transaction execution, so it measures the monetary demand to transact onchain. It is a subset of Total Revenue.

**Total Revenue**: All revenue generated by the chain, including anything beyond fees paid for transaction execution (Network REV). This may include trading fees from an enshrined DEX, licensing fees on the tech stack, interest income on treasury assets, etc.

**Application Revenue**: All revenue generated by external apps building on top of the chain. 


The percent change columns (%Δ) compare to the previous period of the same length. For example, the percent change 7D change will compare the trailing 7D values to the previous 7D period. 

The market share columns divide the value by the sum of the value for the entire group.

Blockchain Key Stats

Rolling 30-day annualized volatility of the hourly median transaction fee is the standard deviation of log-returns on each hour’s median fee, taken over the trailing 720 hours and annualized.

It quantifies how sharply the “typical” fee fluctuates. Low volatility signals consistently predictable costs, while high volatility reveals frequent congestion-driven spikes in the median fee. 

Low volatility signals consistent transaction fee pricing
