đ§ What is TVL (Total Value Locked) and why does it matter in the crypto market?
If you follow the DeFi world or analyze cryptocurrency projects, you have probably come across the term TVL (Total Value Locked). But do you really understand what it means?
đ TVL is the total value of assets deposited in a DeFi protocol, such as liquidity in DEXs, collateral in lending platforms, or staking in validation networks. This number represents how much users trust the protocol, as it shows the volume of crypto assets "locked" in smart contracts.
