Cash Flow Projections

Cash flow projections are estimates of the future cash inflows and outflows a protocol or business expects to generate over a defined period. These projections are based on assumptions about user growth, transaction volume, fee structures, and market conditions.

In the context of derivatives and decentralized finance, this involves modeling revenue from trading fees, liquidation penalties, or yield generation activities. Accuracy in these projections is essential for reliable valuation, yet they are inherently uncertain due to the volatile nature of crypto markets.

Analysts must perform sensitivity analysis to understand how changes in these assumptions impact the final valuation.
