On-Chain Value

Definition

On-chain value represents the inherent worth or utility derived from assets and activities recorded and executed directly on a blockchain. This value is often quantifiable through metrics such as transaction volume, total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance protocols, or the market capitalization of digital assets. Understanding on-chain value is critical for assessing the true economic activity and utility of blockchain networks and the digital assets they support. It provides a transparent measure of network participation and asset demand.
