Here is my work in progress for some charts showing some of the key metrics:

### Percentage of fees paid  in BSQ per month

This chart shows the percentage of fees paid  in BSQ per month. The average over this fiscal year is 28.84%. It would be good to see this rise over time. Some work has been done in the last 12 months to allow people in the app to buy BSQ easier, as well as the BSQ swap implementation for a smoother purchasing experience. 

I think the this statistic is thrown around a bit by users that make large >1 BTC trades choosing or not choosing to utilize BSQ.

### Total revenue as a percentage of fees paid per month

Recently there has been [discussion](https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/365) on how Bisq can achieve revenue consistent with 0.8%  of the trade volume. 

I think this chart shows why it is important to monitor this statistic to ensure the Bisq DAO does not undersell itself. I expect with the [new trade fees](https://bisq.wiki/Trading_fees) total revenue as a percentage of trade fees will trend up to 0.8%.

### Net profit / loss per month

I have denominated the profit in USD, BTC and BSQ. The profits are the same the charts just show the various denominations.

Total profit in this fiscal year to date is:

- $235,458 OR,
- 4.62455638 BTC  OR,
- 153,547 BSQ

Please note these figures should be taken with a grain of salt as they are the cumulative sum of the monthly totals (so really not an accurate measure for yearly data).

An accurate measure for the strength of the DAO is, in my opinion, better measured by change in supply, BSQ/BTC price and market cap measured in BTC.

If the DAO is 'profitable' BSQ supply will decrease, if the DAO makes a 'loss' BSQ supply will inflate. 

For reference the current supply of BSQ is: 4,315,811 BSQ

At the end of March 2021, cycle 22, (end of last fiscal year) it was 4,465,470 BSQ.

Therefore, there has been a reduction in supply of 149,659 BSQ since the April 2021 and there is over 4 BTC in Burning Mans donation address. Once Burning Mans funds have been used to buy BSQ to burn the effect of the BSQ supply will be able to be more accurately measured. 

I will report further on this next month when I have all the figures for the whole year, as opposed to 11 months.

#### Additional charts I can make

These are the additional charts I can make if anyone is interested:

The following are not easily obtainable in Bisq app so might be of interest to some people?:

- BTC trade revenue fees per month
- Contributor costs per month
- Arbitration fees per month

The following are easily obtainable in Bisq app so whilst I can chart them I am not sure if there is a benefit:

- Trade volume 
- BSQ trade revenue fees
- Average Price of BSQ April
- Average Price of BTC

I also think that the change in BSQ supply over time is one of the most important metrics, and this is currently missing from the DAO section in Bisq. I have opened an issue to request a [change in BSQ supply chart](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/6100) natively in the app.

If anyone has any questions, comments or suggestions please let me know.

Also please let me know if you see anything that looks incorrect etc, as currently I am doing these all independently and would welcome anyone casting there eyes over my figures :)
