the Superchain

The Superchain needs clear success metrics to evaluate performance and guide strategic decisions 🧭

There’s always debate over metrics because people optimize for different goals or timeframes. That disconnect often leads to confusion.

Unofficial HQ for everything Optimism and the Superchain Ecosystem.

In the Superchain Success is defined as Demand for Superchain Blockspace. 

If the Superchain offers the best user experience, apps, and security, there should be clear, sustained demand to transact on it 🌟

Metrics that matter for tracking Superchain performance reflect real usage, economic activity, and growth across the ecosystem. These are:

• Real Economic Value 
• Collective Revenue
• Total Value Locked
• Gas Used per Second
• Median Transaction Fee
• Market Share

Total Value Locked (TVL) 📊

TVL measures the total value of assets locked in Superchain apps. 

It matters because it shows the supply side of onchain activity. Net TVL flows help filter out price noise and track real growth.

Collective Revenue 🌱

This tracks how much ETH the Optimism Collective earns from Superchain activity through revenue sharing.

It matters because this revenue can be used by governance to fund ecosystem growth, public goods, and long-term infrastructure.

Real Economic Value (REV) 💱

REV tracks all fees users pay to transact, including gas and tips to builders.

It matters because it reflects real demand. If users are paying, they are finding value.
