User Retention Metric

Definition

A user retention metric quantifies the rate at which users continue to engage with a product, service, or platform over a specified period. This measurement is crucial for assessing the long-term success and value proposition of an application or protocol. High retention indicates user satisfaction and sustained utility, while low retention signals potential issues with product market fit or user experience. It helps evaluate the stickiness and enduring appeal of a service.
