Market cap to annualized fees, worked through step by stepThe arithmetic takes one line; the choices hidden inside it are where two careful analysts end up with different numbers for the same network.

Market cap to protocol revenue, and what revenue means hereNarrowing the denominator from all fees to protocol revenue sharpens the ratio and imports a classification call no standard-setter has ever ruled on.

The limits of every valuation ratio on this siteOne page collecting the failure modes shared by all of them, so no ratio here gets read as a statement about what an asset is worth.

How to build a comparison set that is not nonsenseA peer group only means something when fee mechanism, accounting boundary, supply definition and measurement window are held constant across it.

What to look at when every valuation ratio is meaninglessSome assets generate no fee stream at all, which makes every ratio in this track undefined rather than merely unreliable.

A measurement and a judgement are different thingsEverything in this track produces measurements; a view about worth is a judgement, and keeping the two apart is what the whole method depends on.
