at Meme Insider, where we blend meme token madness with solid blockchain knowledge—this collab feels like a win for transparency in an often opaque industry. Let's break it down, chart by chart.
Why Ether.fi Chose Token Terminal
Ether.fi isn't your average staking setup. It's evolving into a full-on banking alternative on chains like Ethereum, Base, Hyperliquid, Scroll, and Arbitrum. Users can stake, earn yields, and even spend their assets from a single self-custodial wallet—no more juggling multiple apps. Backed by $32 million from VCs like CoinFund and Maelstrom, and built by folks with serious onchain chops, it's no wonder they've hit over $12 billion in total value locked (TVL). That's huge!
But with growth comes the need for clear, reliable data. Enter Token Terminal, the go-to platform for standardized onchain metrics trusted by heavyweights like Bloomberg, Binance, and CoinGecko. Ether.fi wanted to benchmark against rivals like Pendle or Aave in a fair way, and Token Terminal's focus on data accuracy made it a no-brainer.
As Mike Silagadze, a core contributor at ether.fi, put it: “By partnering with Token Terminal, we’re able to benchmark our performance against the competition in a fair and accurate way. Having a real-time dashboard on Token Terminal is not only a great tool for our team, but for all ether.fi stakeholders.”
The Four Pillars of Their Data Partnership
This isn't just a handshake—it's a structured setup to keep everything running smooth. Here's how it rolls out:

smart contracts (those self-executing code bits on the blockchain). This is the foundation for pulling accurate data without building new infrastructure from scratch.Metric Transformations: Raw blockchain data gets turned into easy-to-digest stats like TVL, fees, revenue, and daily active users. For liquid staking, this means seeing exactly how much value is staked and earning.
Discovery and Reporting: Boom—ether.fi now stars on Token Terminal's liquid staking sector dashboard and Discover page. Investors, devs, and liquidity providers can compare protocols side-by-side, making smarter choices. For ether.fi, it's streamlined reporting that builds trust.
Data Maintenance: Crypto moves fast, and multichain projects like this evolve constantly. Token Terminal handles the ongoing tweaks for accuracy, freeing ether.fi to focus on growth.
Check out these dashboards: Ether.fi's fully diluted market cap sits at $1.48 billion, with circulating cap around $692 million. Trading volume? A cool $110 billion, and over 103K token holders. TVL has skyrocketed to $12.51 billion, with weekly fees hitting $6.85 million. Impressive, right?
What's Next for Ether.fi and Token Terminal?
Looking ahead, they're eyeing custom dashboards with project-specific metrics to give liquidity providers and stakeholders even deeper dives. This turns data into a competitive edge, especially in a space where trust is everything.
For us at Meme Insider, this hits home—meme tokens thrive on community hype, but sustainable projects like ether.fi show how solid fundamentals (pun intended) keep the party going.
