Content:

1. Market cap
2. Gross merchandise volume (GMV)
3. Revenue
4. Price to sales ratio (P/S)
5. Token trading volume to market cap ratio

What makes this comparison interesting is that Compound introduced liquidity-mining rewards on June 16th, whereas Aave is about to release a similar reward system in the upcoming months. Liquidity mining rewards entitle liquidity providers to earn the native token of the protocol - resulting in (temporary) growth to the protocol’s service.
