Extraction Rate

Definition

Extraction rate, in the context of digital assets, typically refers to the speed or efficiency at which resources or value are obtained from a blockchain system. This can relate to the rate at which new tokens are mined or minted, or the speed at which value is extracted through arbitrage or other on-chain activities. It quantifies the pace of value generation or capture within a specific protocol. Understanding this rate is important for assessing economic models.
