Most projects with liquid tokens do not provide regular, standardized reporting to their stakeholders. Token Terminal's reporting initiative exists to close this gap, giving investors the data to evaluate onchain businesses on fundamentals rather than narratives alone.

Token Terminal publishes standardized quarterly reports covering key financial and operational metrics alongside qualitative commentary from the respective core team. Quarterly reports are now rolling out for Q1 2026.

More from Q1 2026

“From our perspective, Q1 showed that Cash is becoming a real-world utility product, not just a crypto-cycle product.”

“There is a structural shift in how institutions interact with DeFi, and the growth of some of the early curators alongside the emergence of new curators coming from a more traditional finance background is welcomed.”

"Boros' growth reflects a broadening of the user base as more participants discover what the platform can do.”

“The shift toward tokenized asset volume, which nearly tripled QoQ to $224.86m, represents an intentional strategic direction.”

“The key signal is that capital became more productive, not less. While TVL declined alongside broader market deleveraging, fee generation remained nearly flat.”

“TRON's stablecoin supply reached a new all-time high in Q1, averaging $84.54 billion over the quarter and closing March at levels that reflect continued, broad-based demand for stablecoin settlement on the network.”

Data Partnership with Cardano

Token Terminal announced a Data Partnership with Cardano, making standardized, comparable data across the Cardano ecosystem available on Token Terminal.

Cardano is a Layer 1 blockchain with a research-driven development process, supported by 190+ peer-reviewed papers and a roadmap that includes Leios, post-quantum cryptography, and fast finality. The partnership gives Cardano stakeholders a standardized source for tracking the network's financial and usage metrics.

The Data Partnership includes four key parts:

  • Data pipeline. Token Terminal set up dedicated node infrastructure for Cardano to continuously extract raw data from the chain. This enables L1-specific metric coverage for Cardano and supports future listing work for Cardano applications.

  • Metric transformations. Token Terminal's research team transforms raw Cardano blockchain data into standardized financial and usage metrics. Live metrics include fees, daily active users, transaction counts, ecosystem stablecoin supply, and more.

  • Discovery and reporting. Cardano is now listed on Token Terminal's L1 blockchain market sector dashboard, with key charts also featured on the Discover page. Users, investors, developers, and other stakeholders can now evaluate Cardano alongside other L1 networks using comparable metrics.

  • Data maintenance. Standardized onchain metrics require ongoing maintenance as a blockchain's application ecosystem grows. Token Terminal will maintain Cardano's metrics over time, allowing the Cardano team to focus on growing its onchain economy.

"Partnering with Token Terminal empowers us to track our performance in a fair & accurate way, while providing a real-time dashboard that's a great tool for all Cardano stakeholders."
