    Higher TVL signifies more trust in the protocol and its ability to yield an attractive reward or borrow rate to the community.

    What is TVL in DeFi?

    TVL, or Total Value Locked, is a metric that measures the total dollar value of digital assets locked or staked within decentralised finance (DeFi) platforms and decentralised applications (dApps).

    It is considered one of the most important metrics for evaluating a DeFi protocol because it directly impacts the fees collected and revenue generated by the platform.
     

    How is TVL Used Across Blockchain Networks?

    For blockchain networks such as Layer 1s and Layer 2s, Chain TVL refers to the total value of tokens staked natively by validators and network participants.

    For example, the Chain TVL of Ethereum represents the total dollar value of ETH staked by validators across the network.
     

    Why is TVL Important in DeFi?

    TVL is widely used to evaluate the scale, liquidity, and adoption of DeFi platforms.

    A higher TVL generally indicates:

    • Greater capital participation
    • Higher liquidity within the protocol
    • Stronger user adoption
    • Increased protocol activity

     

    Since many DeFi platforms generate revenue through trading fees, borrowing activity, or staking services, TVL is often viewed as a reflection of the platform’s overall ecosystem strength.
