Abstract

This whitepaper frames the economic problem, the data model, and the reproducibility boundary for OMNL and DBIS publication surfaces.

Method

Joint publications split responsibilities between OMNL economic interpretation and DBIS technical measurement, with a single citation policy and a shared rights gate.

DefiLlama citation note

DefiLlama is used as a third-party evidence source for reproducibility, adapter comparisons, and metric reconciliation; raw redistribution is not included unless a separate rights grant permits it.

Rights class: LICENSED_PROVIDER_NO_RAW_REDISTRIBUTION.

Source boundary

OMNL uses third-party datasets for statistical context only when the source-rights register allows the citation path. Raw provider copies are excluded unless separately licensed for publication.
