Supercharged Sundays returns, focusing on new metrics in the oracle space:

  • Total Value Secured (TVS): Traditional metric in DeFi 1.​0

    • Measures value secured by oracles
    • Represents potential risk if issues occur
  • Total Transaction Volume (TTV): Emerging metric for DeFi 2.​0

    • Tracks frequency of oracle price updates
    • Better reflects high-frequency trading and speed requirements
    • Correlates with oracle revenue potential
  • Pyth Network leads in TTV with over $800 billion cumulative trading volume

Learn more about how these metrics are reshaping the DeFi landscape and why TTV may be more relevant for modern oracle systems.​
