Biggest TVL Movers
Chains are mixed today. For some reason Polygon is suddenly showing up in the #2 spot on @defillama, but we’re not sure if that’s a reporting error or what. Arbitrum is less than a 5% move upward from hitting $1B TVL. Among top 30 chains, Avalanche (#5) and Fantom (#10) and Klaytn (#13) and Waves (#17) and Gnosis (#20) and Stacks (#21) are all red on all three timelines (daily/weekly/monthly).
Protocols are also mixed today. Some notables include Aura moving up into #26 spot at +16.01% on the weekly, Stadar at #60 and +47.81% on the weekly, Serum at #66 and +21.86% on the weekly, and Homora up to spot #85 and +20.01% on the weekly.
Here’s The Top 12 Chains By TVL (from @defillama):
