Factlink TVS Methodology 📊

This page outlines Factlink’s approach to calculating Total Value Secured (TVS), a key metric reflecting the economic security and impact of our optimistic oracle on the Solana ecosystem. At Factlink, transparency is a core value, and we are committed to sharing our methodologies openly with the community. Have specific queries? Reach out on Discord for detailed insights! 🤝

Methodology 🛠️

Factlink’s TVS calculation adheres to a simple yet powerful principle: Factlink TVS = the total value secured by Factlink’s Optimistic Oracle and Factum DVM.

We break down TVS into sub-components, calculating aggregated USD values at specific points in time. Our approach leverages APIs and open-source tools on Solana to ensure accuracy and verifiability. These sub-components include:

• Optimistic Oracle Integrations: Value secured through dApps using Factlink for data verification (e.g., prediction markets, DeFi insurance).
• Factum DVM Disputes: Economic value tied to bonds and rewards in active disputes.
• Custom Escalation Manager Integrations: Value secured by custom dispute resolution mechanisms integrated with Factlink.

For each integration, we will develop bespoke logic to calculate TVS, such as fetching protocol TVL via Solana blockchain explorers or API services. We are committed to an open-source implementation for calculating TVS, ensuring anyone can review and contribute to our methodology. 🖥️

Dashboards 📈

To provide real-time transparency, the Factlink team will create Dune Analytics dashboards to showcase our TVS metrics. These dashboards will be updated regularly and will cover key categories like Optimistic Oracle TVS and Factum DVM activity. Links to these dashboards will be shared here and on our website once live. Stay tuned for actionable insights into the value Factlink secures on Solana! 🌞
