Summary
PYOR, a founding member at Optimism, conducted an Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on the performance of DeFi protocols that received Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RPGF) in January. They analyzed on-chain metrics such as Total Value Locked (TVL), fees, volumes, and user activity, before and after the RPGF distribution. Insights include notable growth in Aerodrome, a late revival in SushiSwap, poor performance in yield protocols like Yearn Finance and Sonne Finance, and positive growth in bridge protocols like Hop and Synapse.
PYOR’s analysis aimed to empower Optimism Governance by focusing on recipients with a net positive impact on the Optimism Superchain. The study highlighted the performance of various protocols, normalized growth data by RPGF value, and compared DEXes like Uniswap to observe correlations. Their research emphasized the importance of a data-driven approach to enhance the on-chain RPGF program’s robustness.
