NAVI Progress Report
NAVI Progress Report
This document is a progress report for the NAVI decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, providing key metrics and insights into its performance during March 2024. The report covers various aspects, including the total value locked (TVL) across different asset pools, user activity trends, protocol borrowing fee, and utilization rates.
Month-to-Month Comparison
In March, NAVI experienced a 4.73% decrease in the total value supplied compared to February, dropping from $170.68M to $162.60M. Simultaneously, the total value borrowed saw a more substantial decline of 15.80%, decreasing from $66.22M in February to $55.76M in March.
Despite the decreases in supply and borrow values, the platform's TVL grew by 2.27%, increasing from $104.46M in February to $106.83M in March. This shows that the reduction in the supplied value was less significant than the decrease in the borrowed value, resulting in an overall TVL increase.
The platform's monthly borrowing fee took a significant hit, declining by 22.79% from $645K in February to $498K in March. This substantial drop in borrowing fee may be attributed to various factors, such as lower user activity and reduced borrowing demand.
The utilization rate, which represents the percentage of supplied assets being borrowed, decreased by 11.50% from 38.79% in February to 34.33% in March. This decline in utilization rate aligns with the larger decrease in borrowed value compared to the supplied value, indicating a potential reduction in borrowing demand or increased supply during March.
Overall, while the platform experienced growth in TVL during March, it faced challenges in terms of declining supply, borrow values, monthly borrowing fee, and utilization rate. However, the protocol has started to grow again from mid-March, indicating a potential recovery.
