Frequently Asked Questions
Total Value Locked (TVL) represents the total assets deposited in a DeFi protocol. It's a key metric for measuring protocol adoption and trust. Higher TVL generally indicates more user confidence. However, TVL should be considered alongside other metrics like revenue, users, and security history.
DefiLlama maintains individual adapters for each protocol, reading data directly from smart contracts. The methodology is open source and auditable. Data accuracy is high for major protocols, though some smaller protocols may have delays. The team actively fixes discrepancies reported by the community.
