The total value locked on a chain is calculated by summing the total value of digital assets locked on a specific DeFi platform or dApp.
Base and Blast have experienced a remarkable rise in their TVL, and factors like security features, and strategic partnerships might contribute to the increasing TVL. In the TVL list, Ethereum stands on top with $58.594 billion, followed by Tron with $7. 659 billion. Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and Blast follows next.
