TVL Snapshot

Metric Week 1 (Feb 13) Week 2 (Feb 20) Change
Users snapshotted 15,419 43,798 +28,379 (+184%)
Users with positive TVL 2,994 4,081 +1,087 (+36%)
Users meeting $50 threshold 2,101 2,652 +551 (+26%)
Total TVL $14.83M $20.88M +$6.05M (+41%)

The user base nearly tripled but TVL only grew 41%. Of the $6.05M increase: $5.29M came from the 28,379 new users, and only $757K net from the 15,419 returning users. Among returning users, 95.1% were completely flat (within +/- $1). The gains came from just 49 users who added >$1K each (+$1.31M), partially offset by 41 who withdrew >$1K (-$568K).

Quest Completions

Quest Completions % of Users
Verify Wallet 37,999 98.8%
Weekly Swap 29,194 75.9%
Fund Wallet 26,973 70.1%
First Vault Deposit 25,421 66.1%
First Swap 25,022 65.1%
Swap Major Asset 24,971 64.9%
Connect X 7,064 18.4%
Weekly TVL 4,753 12.4%

Connect X is still the weakest link at 18.4%. It's the only quest that requires leaving the platform to complete. All DeFi quests (swap, vault, bridge) are at 65-76%.

Weekly TVL at 12.4% is also low - most users aren't maintaining $50+ in vaults. Only 2,652 users meet the threshold.

Intent Volume (since Feb 18)

Type Intents Unique Users Volume Avg/Intent
BRIDGE_TO_KATANA 1,569 1,196 $235K $150
SWAP 4,481 2,677 $760K $170
VAULT_DEPOSIT 1,713 1,180 $2.0M $1,186
Pre-tracking (no type)* 89,234 26,398 $448.4M $5,025
UNKNOWN 324 220 $195K $602

$451.6M total volume across 97K intents. Vault deposits lead typed intents at $2.0M, heavily skewed by a few large depositors (top deposit is $833K). Swap volume is $760K across 4,481 intents. Bridges are $235K across 1,569 intents (avg $150/intent).

*Type tracking was deployed Feb 18. The 89K pre-tracking intents (Feb 5-17) include bridges, swaps, and vault deposits but can't be split by type. The $448.4M volume includes bot activity, but we lack the type-level granularity to isolate it for this period.

Top two bridges are $100K and $67K. After that it drops steeply to $4K and below, showing a long tail of smaller organic bridges.

Two large outliers ($308K and $202K) - both non-major-asset swaps. The rest drop off sharply. Notably, none of the top 10 swaps involve major assets (ETH/wBTC).

Top deposit is $833K from a genuine whale. The top 10 account for $1.69M. Outside the top 10, vault deposits are mostly small — the quest has no minimum threshold so 48% are under $10.

Are Users Gaming the Thresholds?

Current minimums: first_swap and swap_major_asset require $10 (with 5% tolerance, so $9.50 effective). Weekly swap has no minimum. First vault deposit has no minimum. Weekly TVL requires $50.

Swaps (first_swap, swap_major_asset): Significant gaming. These quests have a $10 minimum, and 62% of swaps cluster at or below it — 31% below $9.50 (failing the threshold) and 31% in the bare minimum $9.50-$11 range. Only 6% are $100-$500. Users are clearly targeting the minimum.

Weekly Swap: No minimum enforced. Any swap of any size completes it. This explains why it has the highest completion count (29,194) despite low swap volume.

Vault Deposits: No minimum enforced. Any deposit to a whitelisted Yearn vault completes the quest regardless of amount. 48% of deposits are under $10 and 36% are dust under $1.

TVL around $50 threshold: Modest. 631 users sit in the bare-minimum $47.50-$55 bucket. But most users have $0 TVL — they aren't even trying for the weekly TVL quest.

Source Tracking

Page-level attribution (which frontend page triggered each intent) was deployed to production Feb 22-23. Coverage is ramping up as users get the new frontend bundle - currently at 68.3%. We'll have meaningful page-level data to report next week.


Note: Intent-based quests (fund_wallet, first_swap, swap_major_asset, first_vault_deposit, weekly_swap) auto-complete when any transaction on the platform satisfies the quest condition - the user does not need to be on the /quests page. The weekly TVL quest runs via a weekly snapshot job (Fridays 00:00 UTC) and completes if the user holds >= $50 TVL in Yearn vaults.
