Side-by-side comparisons

Fourteen comparisons with the trade-off stated rather than a winner declared, including where we own one of the options and say so in the table.

Every page here answers "which", and states the condition under which the other option wins — including where we own one of the options and say so in the table itself.

The two that carry the most weight: lock versus LP burn, because an LP burn means something different on a chain with concentrated liquidity than on the model most guides still describe; and Robinhood Chain versus Base, because the honest answer depends on what you are doing rather than which chain is better.

Where a comparison rests on data rather than mechanism, the figures come from our own indexer and the method is identical for every row, ours included — including lock liquidity, which is Team Finance, our sister product. See new tokens for the live version of what these pages compare.

Frequently asked questions

Why does no comparison here declare a winner?

Because on every question worth comparing, the answer turns on what you are doing rather than which option is better in the abstract. A page that names a winner has quietly assumed your situation. These pages state the condition instead — the circumstance under which each option wins — and leave you to match it against your own. Where we sell one of the options compared, the table says so in the row, not a footer.

The sentences reason about the figures, so a value that changed underneath them would make the prose wrong. Live values live on Explore and the pages it links out to. Methodology →
