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 Token incentives Methodology

## 1. Overview

The DeFi Saver token incentives metric measures the USD value of token-based rewards and incentives distributed by the DeFi Saver protocol to users. This metric is currently set to zero across all time periods and chains, indicating that DeFi Saver does not currently operate token incentive programs. The metric maintains the same dimensional structure as other DeFi Saver metrics to ensure consistency in reporting and analysis.

## 2. Data sources

- **Token transfer events**: ERC20 token transfer events from Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism networks (used to establish dimensional structure)
- **Token metadata**: Token decimal information and symbol mappings for proper token identification
- **End-of-day price feeds**: Token price data for USD conversion capabilities
- **Chain configuration**: Supported blockchain network definitions and availability windows

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Dimensional structure extraction
- **Purpose**: Establishes the time series and dimensional framework for the token incentives metric
- **Logic**: Extracts the dimensional structure from DeFi Saver fees data, including daily timestamps, chain identifiers, and product classifications. This ensures the token incentives metric aligns with the same time periods and dimensional breakdowns as other protocol metrics.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily aggregation), `timestamp_grain` (set to 'day'), `product_id` (protocol product identifier), `chain_id` (blockchain network identifier)

### Component B: Zero value assignment
- **Purpose**: Sets all token incentives values to zero across all dimensions
- **Logic**: Replaces any potential incentive values with zero, reflecting DeFi Saver's current policy of not distributing token-based rewards or incentives to users. This creates a complete zero-valued time series that maintains dimensional consistency.
- **Key fields**: `token_incentives` (set to 0 for all records)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The dimensional structure from the fees model is preserved while setting all incentive values to zero
- **Currency conversion**: No currency conversion is performed since all values are zero, but the framework supports USD conversion if incentives are introduced in the future
- **Time aggregation**: Daily time boundaries are maintained, ensuring no gaps in the time series through the fill_zeros strategy
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is consistently zero USD across all time periods, chains, and product dimensions, representing the absence of token incentive programs in DeFi Saver's current protocol design
