Index description

BTC Transaction Feerate

You're trading the Avg. of daily average median fee rates (sats/vByte) over the pool's duration.

Tracks the Average of Daily Average Median Fee Rates over the pool duration. For each block, the median fee rate (sats/vByte) is calculated. These are then averaged across all blocks each day, and finally averaged again across the full pool duration.

Base Revenue

The Total Gas Spent on Base across all transactions during the pool’s duration — used as a proxy for Base chain revenue.

The fee is calculated as gasUsed × gasPrice. All transaction fees are summed across every block in the pool window. The result is a single cumulative number representing total economic revenue.


Other market indices

Other market indices are based on external APIs and data providers where Alkimiya does not control how the data is defined or updated. Some key traits to note about these indices:

  • Index construction relies on third-party platforms
  • May introduce external trust or data lag
