Hello readers,

I’m pleased to share the first episode of our new podcast series, The Signal.

I’ll be joined by co-host Okskari Tempakka (Head of Growth at Token Terminal) for weekly shows covering market insights, onchain data, and fundamental analysis of crypto networks and protocols.

In episode 1 we share Ethereum’s financial results for Q1. A big thank you to our friends over at Artemis Analytics for supplying the data that made our reporting possible this quarter.

Topics discussed:

Onchain P&L (find out how profitable the network was in Q1)
Operating performance (a look into various operating KPIs)
L2s by the numbers (growth of L2 fundamentals vs ETH)
Ethereum “GDP” (which sectors drove the most value in Q1?)
Market & DeFi metrics (price action, trading volumes, TVL, etc)
Token Economics (find out if ETH was deflationary in Q1)
EIP 4844 (how the big network upgrade in Q1 impacts how we think about value accrual)
Market outlook (macro, interest rates, business cycle, etc)

For those that would like to go deeper, we recommend downloading a copy of The Ethereum Investment Framework for Q1: The Ethereum Investment Framework.

We also have an Ethereum Excel model + Plug-In to dynamically update the data courtesy of our friends at Artemis Analytics that pairs nicely with The EIF.

If you’d like a copy of the Ethereum Excel Model + Plug-In to refresh the data simply reply to this email (or reach out on LinkedIn) and we’ll send it to you.
