Markets evolve. Metrics must too. TVL and DAUs measure presence, not performance. The real metric is fee dominance: who earns when capital moves. @HyperliquidX now commands 40% of all Layer-1 fee flow. @BNBCHAIN: 20%. @solana: 9%, collapsing from above 50% earlier this year. That’s not a glitch. It’s a repricing of what matters. Liquidity that churns is more valuable than liquidity that sits. Hyperliquid and BNB captured the most active orderflow: derivatives, liquidations, funding, rebalancing...while Solana’s memecoin traffic dried up. Fee dominance exposes the truth TVL hides: ➤ TVL: shows how much liquidity is parked ➤ Fees: share shows how much liquidity is used ➤ Revenue density: shows which networks monetize behavior, not deposits Blockchains aren’t competing for users anymore. They’re competing for execution share, for the traders, bots, and protocols that actually generate economic throughput. The next market cycle won’t crown the chain with the most deposits. It’ll crown the one with the highest revenue per block.
