Are you seeing the correct TVL on DefiLlama? By default, borrows, liquid staking, and vaults are not shown in TVL calculations. This is because: - Borrowed assets can be redeposited, so including them would double-count liquidity. Because you can recursively borrow and supply, counting both could inflate TVL. - Liquid staking tokens are representations of value locked in validators, which usually is not considered as part of value locked in "DeFi" dapps on-chain. - Vaults / yield strategies are also excluded because vaults redeposit into other protocols. Counting them would inflate TVL through multiple layers. DefiLlama allows for easy toggling between different views to get a fuller picture of TVL. Itemizing like this is important for assessing the utilization of a chain, as redepositing and restaking shows that people are actively leveraging capital efficiency and compounding yield opportunities. For example, Nibiru's TVL can show from $2.98m to $4.21m depending on which activity you want to include.
