📊 Crypto Tip: What Is TVL in DeFi?

TVL (Total Value Locked) represents the value of assets deposited in a DeFi protocol or ecosystem.

Why is TVL useful? 👇

🔹 It can give you an idea of how much capital is being used in a DeFi protocol.
🔹 Comparing TVL across protocols can provide useful context.
🔹 Changes in TVL may reflect shifts in user activity or market conditions.

⚠️ TVL alone does not prove that a project is safe or profitable. Always research the protocol, smart contracts, tokenomics, and risks.

🧠 Numbers are useful — but context matters even more.

Do you check TVL when researching DeFi projects? 👀👇

Focusing only on TVL can be misleading; the token unlock schedule also needs to be checked.

High TVL does not mean safety; several high-TVL projects still disappeared with users’ funds last year.

Gate’s explainer is great—finally, someone has clearly explained that TVL isn’t a universal metric.

A sharp drop in TVL is often a signal to either buy the dip or run for the exits—it depends on how you interpret it.

High TVL + low utilization = poor capital efficiency; such projects warrant caution.

I usually compare the 30-day TVL change trend; static figures are meaningless.

I've said DYOR countless times, but most people still just ape in based on TVL rankings.

Protocol revenue says more than TVL, but unfortunately many people don’t check it.
