Circle - Transfer Volume Methodology
1. Overview
Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) transfer volume measures the total daily USD value of cross-chain token transfers facilitated by Circle's CCTP infrastructure. This metric captures the volume of tokens burned on source chains as part of CCTP's burn-and-mint cross-chain transfer mechanism. The calculation aggregates DepositForBurn events across all CCTP-supported blockchains.
2. Data sources
The calculation uses several categories of raw data:
- •CCTP burn events: Parsed
TokenMessenger_DepositForBurnevents from EVM-compatible chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Optimism... - •Aptos blockchain events: Parsed
TokenMessengerMinter_DepositForBurnevents from Aptos blockchain - •Price feeds: End-of-day token price feeds from Token Terminal's pricing infrastructure
3. Step-by-step calculation
Component A: EVM chain CCTP volume extraction
- •Purpose: Extract and process CCTP burn events from EVM-compatible blockchains
- •Logic: Parse
TokenMessenger_DepositForBurnevents from multiple EVM chains across both CCTP v1 and v2 implementations...
