An overview of the key value adds of a Data Partnership with Token Terminal
1. Token Terminal’s prior work for Venus
Venus has been listed on Token Terminal since December 2022
- The current Project dashboard for Venus covers its business across three different networks: Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and Ethereum.
- The included standardized metrics can be grouped into four main categories: financials, usage, multichain, and market sector comparables.
- The existing listing has (i) reduced the engineering efforts required by the Venus core team, and (ii) enabled the Venus community to track the project’s performance against competitors – for free.
2. Why a formal Data Partnership?
1) Increased scope of work
- As Venus continues to expand onto new networks, it is essential for Token Terminal to capture 100% of the project’s deployments in order to maintain accurate and comparable data for Venus.
- However, each new deployment requires a dedicated upfront effort from Token Terminal’s infrastructure and research teams, as well as ongoing maintenance work.
2) Stricter data requirements from institutional investors
- As the crypto market continues to grow, more and more institutional investors enter the market – many of whom rely on Token Terminal for standardized onchain metrics.
- Because institutional investors often invest outside capital, they need to access high-quality data to power their decision-making processes.
