What is TLV
In DeFi slang, TLV is short for Total Locked Value. Total locked value is a yield farming market metric.
The total locked value shows the total liquidity locked up in a DeFi contract.
TLV measures its health and also the market share of that project.
- Higher TLV implies a healthier project and less risk
- Higher TLV also might mean the project is overcrowded though, which means less yield
