The starting problem was straightforward.
Existing metrics like TVL or transactions don't tell you how much real value an ecosystem produces, only how much capital is sitting in it. GCP and GCI were built to answer the question those metrics can't.
That's the foundation our research agenda is built on.
How does the Foundation measure the ecosystem? 🔺
@eric_lu_sc breaks it down: GCP (Gross Chain Product) measures what the Avalanche ecosystem produces. GCI (Gross Chain Income) measures what it earns.
