Aave vs. Compound:
Content:
- Market cap
- Gross merchandise volume (GMV)
- Revenue
- Price to sales ratio (P/S)
- 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.

Without archival nodes, it becomes difficult to verify historical transactions or trace the complete history of smart contracts—undermining the very principles that make blockchains so powerful.
