Our Data Methodology
Protocol Revenue
What do users pay for, how much does the protocol keep, and who receives a share? Compare amounts over the same period, then open a profile to see where fees go and how token holders can participate.
Protocol Revenue methodology →Yieldo collects prices, funding rates, staking rates and withdrawal fees to help you compare exchange terms. The protocol revenue section explains how much projects earn and where the money goes.
Yieldo in numbers
Yieldo aggregates data from 27 exchanges and protocols across 17,550 coins and holds 42,209 rows of withdrawal fees, staking rates and funding rates; last refreshed .
Data and guides
Tables let you compare rates and fees, while guides explain product terms. The protocol revenue section connects business metrics with token economics.
Market indicators include an update time. Articles identify the period covered by their figures and label educational examples separately.

Methodology
Staking: we compare annual rates for flexible and fixed-term products from official exchange APIs. Promotional rates carry a promo label.
Withdrawal fees: for each coin and network, we show the exchange fee and withdrawal availability. Closed routes are marked in the table.
A network is closed for withdrawals or deposits when the exchange reports that the respective operation is disabled for that coin on that network.
The freeze history includes withdrawal and deposit restrictions lasting longer than 45 minutes. Brief status changes are excluded.
Funding rates: we aggregate perpetual futures funding across venues and publish both the raw rate and the annualised percent, so the same number can be compared between exchanges. Positive rates mean longs pay shorts; negative rates mean shorts pay longs.
Spot arbitrage: we compare prices for the same coin across venues, taking order-book depth into account. The net spread includes the withdrawal fee, and the route must be open.
Spot prices: quotes from several exchanges provide a reference. Values that differ from it by more than 25% are excluded from calculations.
Macro Pulse: macroeconomic and on-chain indicators come from Alternative.me, CoinGecko, DefiLlama, FRED, Polymarket, SoSoValue, Yieldo. They underpin the market assessment and daily review.
How we check the data
Freshness: data includes the time of the latest source update.
Price comparison: we exclude quotes that differ from the reference across several exchanges by more than 25%.
Network comparison: TRX, TRC20 and Tron refer to the same network. We compare fees for the same coin on the same network.
Errors and corrections
