Relatively Unknown Protocols Push TVL in Defi Above the $200 Billion Range

On February 15, the total value locked (TVL) in decentralized finance (defi) platforms is just above the $200 billion range, after a brief slump below that region last week. Out of the entire TVL in defi today, Ethereum commands 59.22% of that value with 532 defi protocols. Metrics during the last seven days show a number of relatively unknown defi protocols have attracted significant TVL percentage gains.

There are 110 defi lending applications with $45.62 billion in value locked, and 11 cross-chain bridges with $24.34 billion. There are 45 staking apps with $12.88 billion, and 295 protocols that provide a yield and command a TVL of around $24.02 billion.

A Number of Relatively Unknown Defi Protocols See Large TVL Percentage Gains

The top ten smart contract platforms in terms of market cap are all in the green today. Avalanche is the biggest gainer, jumping 14% during the last 24 hours, while the rest have seen percentage gains between 5.8% and 11.5%.

Relatively unknown defi platforms have seen significant percentage gains during the last seven days as well. Hakuswap’s TVL, for instance, has increased 11,497% this week. Wigoswap’s TVL jumped 10,163%, and Acumen saw its TVL increase by 5,174%.

These three defi protocols were followed by Cougarswap (2,290%), Dopex (1,990%), Polkex (551%), and Dehive (471%).
