TVL: A Headline Staple That Misses the Bigger Picture, Says Polygon’s David Silverman

Total value locked (TVL) is a widely used metric to track the popularity, adoption, and overall health of decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. However, is it the most accurate reflection of a chain’s true value? David Silverman, SVP of Strategic Product Initiatives at Polygon Labs, believes TVL is useful for grabbing headlines but doesn’t provide the full picture.

He also revealed how the Chain-Aligned TVL (CAT) could provide a more meaningful measure for the crypto ecosystem source: https://beincrypto.com/chain-aligned-tvl-defi-metric/
