DEX metrics
Ana Volkova covers DeFi protocols and Layer 2 scaling — Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, zkSync, Starknet, and whichever new rollup gets traction next quarter. She reads governance forums, follows protocol revenue, and treats TVL as a starting input rather than the conclusion. Her editorial standard: a protocol's revenue, fee accrual, and treasury runway matter more than its narrative. Ana's reports are the ones that survive a market rotation because they were built on accruals, not vibes.
