DeFi Saver aggregates multiple DeFi protocols and users perform different strategies through DeFi Saver.

DeFi Saver is a non-custodial DeFi aggregator built on Ethereum. DeFi Saver was founded by Nenad Palinkasevic & Andrej Cvoro and launched in 2019.

DeFi Saver team & investors own and govern the protocol. They currently take all of the total trading fees paid by traders (revenue).

# DeFi Saver Fees Methodology

## 1. Overview

The DeFiSaver fees metric measures the total value of fees collected by DeFiSaver across its yield aggregator products on multiple blockchain networks. This metric tracks fee revenue by monitoring token transfers to DeFiSaver's designated fee receiver addresses on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism networks. The calculation aggregates all incoming token transfers to these addresses and converts them to USD values for standardized reporting on a daily basis.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Parsed ERC20 `Transfer` events from Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism networks, specifically filtering for transfers to DeFiSaver's fee receiver addresses
- **Token metadata**: Token contract information including decimal places and symbols for proper amount calculation and display
- **External data**: End-of-day token price feeds for USD conversion of fee amounts
- **Chain configuration**: Hardcoded fee receiver addresses specific to DeFiSaver's infrastructure on each supported chain

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Fee collection identification
- **Purpose**: Identifies all token transfers representing fees paid to DeFiSaver across supported chains
- **Logic**: Extracts token transfer events where the recipient address matches DeFiSaver's designated fee receiver addresses on each chain. On Ethereum, transfers to address `0x6467e807db1e71b9ef04e0e3afb962e4b0900b2b` are captured, while on Arbitrum and Optimism, transfers to address `0x76720ac2574631530ec8163e4085d6f98513fb27` are collected. Only non-removed transfer events are included to ensure data quality. Each transfer is classified as belonging to the Asset Management business line under the yield aggregator business segment with version v1
- **Key fields**: Block timestamp for timing, transaction hash and log index for unique identification, recipient address (`account_address`), token contract address, transfer amount (`value`), and chain identifier

### Component B: Fee standardization and USD conversion
- **Purpose**: Processes raw fee amounts into standardized USD values with proper decimal handling
- **Logic**: Raw token amounts are first corrected for decimal places using token metadata to ensure accurate value representation. The corrected amounts are then converted to USD using end-of-day price feeds that correspond to the transfer date. Daily aggregation boundaries are established by truncating timestamps to the day level. Missing data periods are filled with zeros to create a complete time series
- **Key fields**: Standardized `fees` amount in USD, daily `timestamp` boundaries, token symbols and addresses for identification

### Component C: Business classification and metadata enrichment
- **Purpose**: Applies consistent business categorization and adds project metadata for reporting
- **Logic**: All fees are classified under the Asset Management business line with market sector ID 'asset_management' and business segment ID 'yield_aggregator'. Product ID remains null as fees are aggregated at the protocol level rather than specific product level. Project metadata including DeFiSaver branding and identification tags are added to support downstream reporting and analysis
- **Key fields**: Business line categories, market and segment identifiers, project name and tags for organizational structure

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: Fee amounts are summed across all token types and addresses within each daily period, maintaining separate totals by chain to preserve granular reporting capabilities
- **Currency conversion**: USD conversion occurs before aggregation using end-of-day price feeds matched to the transfer date, ensuring consistent valuation methodology
- **Time aggregation**: Daily boundaries are established using timestamp truncation, with all transfers within a 24-hour UTC period grouped together
- **Final calculation**: The final fees metric represents the sum of all USD-converted token transfers to DeFiSaver fee receiver addresses within each daily period, filtered by chain availability and presented with complete project metadata for standardized reporting
