Total Value Locked (TVL) is the sum of cryptocurrencies deposited in a DeFi smart contract. TVL has emerged as a major indicator for assessing interest in DeFi projects. It comprises all the tokens locked in all the products and services that the protocol services, such as staking, lending, and liquidity pools. However, TVL does not include the returns that these deposits are projected to generate. To find the market cap, multiply the circulating supply with the price.
