Track Total Value Locked (TVL), liquidity pools, and yield farming opportunities across all chains.
Decentralized Finance operates without central banks. Smart contracts hold the funds and dictate the rules. To evaluate how safe or popular a protocol is, investors use the following key indicators:
The total amount of user funds deposited in a smart contract. A high TVL usually indicates trust, security, and strong market adoption.
Annual Percentage Yield represents the expected return on investment over a year, including compound interest from providing liquidity.
Protocols that operate across multiple blockchains (like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Polygon) tend to have lower fees and wider user bases.
