Fee Capture Efficiency
Fee Capture Efficiency measures how effectively a protocol converts its transaction volume into revenue for the protocol treasury or token holders. A protocol might have massive transaction volume but low revenue if fees are distributed entirely to liquidity providers or if the protocol design lacks a mechanism to capture value.
High efficiency indicates that the protocol is successfully extracting value from the economic activity it facilitates. This metric is essential for evaluating the long-term sustainability of a project business model.
Investors look for high capture rates to ensure that the governance token can accrue value over time. It directly relates to the profitability of the protocol.
