NVT & Velocity

Fundamental on-chain metrics for the Keeta network, including NVT ratio, velocity and transaction volume context.

Mainnet DAVTotal value of all bridged tokens on mainnet (KTA, USDC, EURC, CBBTC). Used for NVT and velocity calculations.
24h VolumeTotal USD volume from user-facing mainnet transactions in the last 24 hours. Infrastructure and internal transfers excluded.

Active AddressesUnique wallet addresses involved in non-internal transactions over the last 24 hours. Shows a dash when the daily snapshot is missing rather than reporting zero.

Total CirculatingTotal KTA in circulation (Base + mainnet, excl. treasury). NVT and velocity use mainnet DAV (all bridged tokens) instead.

Important context

Keeta is an L1 with a bridge to Base. Mainnet DAV includes all bridged tokens — KTA, USDC, EURC, and CBBTC — valued at current market prices. NVT and velocity use this DAV as the denominator, matching the scope of the transaction volume data which also includes all token types.

These metrics do not include trading, transfers, or DeFi activity happening on Base. As more value migrates to mainnet, the DAV will grow and these numbers will reflect an increasingly complete picture.

NVT RatioNetwork Value to Transactions. Mainnet DAV divided by 24h mainnet transaction volume. Lower = more productive network. DAV includes all bridged tokens (KTA, USDC, EURC, CBBTC). Volume is DAV-scoped — fiat (Keeta Personal) is excluded from both sides; see Payments for fiat metrics.

Mainnet DAV divided by 24h mainnet transaction volume. Use this as a neutral trend metric over time.

Token VelocityDaily mainnet volume divided by mainnet DAV. Measures how often each dollar of bridged value changes hands per day. Higher = more transactional, lower = more held.

Network ComparisonApproximate NVT and velocity ranges based on historical on-chain data from Glassnode, CoinMetrics, and Token Terminal. Ranges vary with market conditions and methodology. Current values for BTC/ETH are approximate snapshots — Keeta is live.

Contextual range comparison across network types.

NVT measures how much a network is "valued" relative to how much it's actually used. But a "good" NVT looks completely different depending on the type of chain:

Bitcoin · Store of Value

Designed for holding, not transacting. Low on-chain volume relative to market cap means NVT is structurally high (30–100+). A "normal" BTC NVT would look wildly overvalued on any other chain.

Ethereum · Smart Contract Platform

DeFi, stablecoins, and NFTs generate substantial volume, pulling NVT lower than BTC (40–110). L2 adoption means some activity isn't captured in mainnet NVT.

Solana · High-Frequency Apps

Sub-second blocks and near-zero fees enable massive transaction throughput. NVT stays very low (2–7) — a ratio of 5 on Solana can signal overvaluation, while 50 on Bitcoin is neutral.

BTC/ETH/SOL current values are approximate snapshots. NVT thresholds vary by network type — store-of-value chains (BTC) have structurally higher NVT than high-throughput chains (SOL). Historical peaks: BTC ~187 (2014), ~220 (2021); ETH ~110 (2019), ~134 (2024). Sources: Glassnode, CoinMetrics, Token Terminal.

Methodology

NVT Ratio = Mainnet DAV / 24h Transaction Volume. Analogous to the P/E ratio in traditional finance. A lower NVT suggests the network is generating high economic throughput relative to its total on-chain liquidity. Pioneered by Willy Woo (2017) and widely used by Glassnode, CoinMetrics, and Token Terminal.

Token Velocity = 24h Volume / Mainnet DAV. The inverse of NVT. Measures how frequently each dollar of bridged value changes hands. High velocity can indicate active utility usage, while low velocity suggests holding behavior (often interpreted as bullish for price).

Both ratios use mainnet DAV (all bridged tokens: KTA, USDC, EURC, CBBTC) — not the total circulating KTA supply. This ensures the denominator matches the numerator, which captures all mainnet activity across all token types. Volume is calculated from user-facing transactions only — infrastructure transfers, internal ops, and token contract interactions are excluded.
