Biggest TVL Movers
Chains are pretty red today. Among top 30 chains Klaytn (#13), Algorand (#14), Heco (#25), and Canto (#28) are all up over 10% on the weekly. Waves (#18), Gnosis (#20), and Celo (#24) are all down over 10% on the weekly.
Protocols are relatively mixed today. Among top 100 protocols the biggest gainers on the weekly are Sushiswap (#15) at +49.74% (though their TVL jumps around a ton so this could be a reporting issue), and Serum (#74) at +48.15%. The biggest losers on the weekly are Platypus Finance (#90) at -20.50%, and Tulip Protocol (#91) at -28.13%.

New Protocols
(note: this includes new protocols we find through combing Twitter each day, and we also include every (newly launched) protocol added by @defillama and @debank (excluding Tomb forks/reflection tokens/etc) - hence disclaimer: these are not pre-vetted by us so make sure to DYOR frens!)
-Lots of new Aptos protocols launching, as might be expected. A couple new ones that popped up in our daily research are @Aptosnames, a “naming and identity service for web3…”, as well as @houston_swap, which describes itself as “The 1st Concentrated Liquidity DEX with Automated Liquidity Management and Strategy on Aptos.”
-New NFT marketplace/aggregator called @blur_io. Twitter bio states “ The NFT marketplace for pro traders. Backed by @Paradigm. Live now with airdrop for everyone who's traded NFTs in the last 6 months!” They are also apparently doing an airdrop for early users of the platform. Second tweet on that below from a thread from the always dependable airdrop-alfa purveyor @OlimpioCrypto:
-Something new called @YamaFinance, followed by a number of our gigabrain mutuals:
-New protocol called @Minterest. Twitter bio states “Minterest is a ground-breaking lending protocol built by industry leaders to service billions in TVL and to challenge existing DeFi incumbents.”
-New Avalanche protocol called @hedge_farm added to @defillama. Twitter bio states “We create yield out of quantitative models + DeFi primitives. First vault live on @avalancheavax.”
