Total Value Locked is a way to measure the overall health of DeFi / total locked assets. The TVL of $458,630,000 is equivalent to 74% of the total market capital of Fantom $616,058,072. The greater the TVL, the healthier the Defi will be.
TVL comparison for each chain (Novermber, 30, 2022) :
Fantom has almost 4x the TVL of Etherium. $Fantom (FTM)and $Tron (TRX) have the highest total TVL from the data that can be obtained at this time. But too many TVLs cannot be the only measure of Defi’s success. In my opinion, Fantom is one of the underdog chains
