Don't rush to memorize the definition: what does TVL actually tell us?
TVL is often used to measure how much capital a protocol or public blockchain has attracted, making it one of the commonly used DeFi metrics.
Different data platforms use different calculation methods: whether staked assets, borrowed assets, and a protocol's own tokens are included can make the figures vary significantly.
A high TVL doesn't mean a protocol is safer; protocols with more funds can also be more attractive targets for attackers.
