DUAL-METHODOLOGY TVL / TIER B
Dual-methodology TVL
Two named inclusion rules, one coverage cut, and an explicit delta. Missing or stale inputs never become a silent total.
CHAIN4663 publishes DeFi-net TVL and Total-assets TVL together under versioned inclusion rules. Neither series is a headline number. A missing, stale, or malformed required component makes both series UNAVAILABLE — never zero and never a silently partial total. External DefiLlama / L2Beat mirrors are comparison references only and never substitute for first-party series. Values are not market capitalization, TVS, reference notional, or investable claims.
DELTA EXPLAINED
Total-assets minus DeFi-net
When both series are AVAILABLE under the same coverage cut, the delta equals the sum of outstanding borrowed USD on covered LENDING_MARKET components. It is the inclusion-rule gap between gross deposits and net locked value — not an error, not a ranking, and not a third independent TVL series from a different universe.
Delta unavailable: COVERAGE_CUT_EMPTY
METHODOLOGY A
DeFi-net TVL
Sum of value locked in the declared covered DeFi protocol set on Chain 4663, netting borrowed amounts out of lending markets so cycled debt is not double-counted.
chain-tvl-defi-net-v1- Token balances locked in covered DEX pool contracts (reserves / active liquidity) on Chain 4663
- Lending market supply-side assets net of outstanding borrow (supplied − borrowed) when both sides are evidence-bound
- Other protocol-locked balances explicitly declared in the coverage cut as OTHER_LOCKED
- LENDING_MARKET: contribution = max(0, supplied_usd − borrowed_usd) in exact micro-USD integer math
- DEX_LIQUIDITY and OTHER_LOCKED: contribution = locked_usd (no borrow side)
- Outstanding borrowed amounts (they are the DeFi-net / total-assets delta, not locked value)
- L1 bridge escrow / bridged TVL / total value secured (TVS) measures
- Wallet balances outside protocol contracts
- Governance-token staking / pool2 / treasury when not in the declared coverage cut
- Stock-token reference notional, market capitalization, or oracle mark alone
- Receipt / LP token double-count across protocols (coverage cut must not list both sides)
- Any component with status STALE or UNAVAILABLE
Matches the DeFi accounting convention that TVL measures assets remaining at risk in protocol contracts without inflating totals by counting the same capital once as supply and again as a borrowed claim.
METHODOLOGY B
Total-assets TVL
Sum of gross deposited / locked assets in the same declared covered protocol set without netting outstanding borrow against supply.
chain-tvl-total-assets-v1- Token balances locked in covered DEX pool contracts on Chain 4663
- Lending market gross supplied assets (total supply) without subtracting borrow
- Other protocol-locked balances declared as OTHER_LOCKED in the coverage cut
- LENDING_MARKET: contribution = supplied_usd (borrow is not subtracted)
- DEX_LIQUIDITY and OTHER_LOCKED: contribution = locked_usd
- L1 bridge escrow / bridged TVL / TVS measures (tracked separately when available)
- Wallet balances outside protocol contracts
- Governance-token staking / pool2 / treasury when not in the declared coverage cut
- Stock-token reference notional or market capitalization
- Any component with status STALE or UNAVAILABLE
Publishes the gross deposited capital view that does not reduce lending totals by outstanding borrow. When both methodologies use the same coverage cut, the delta equals the sum of evidence-bound borrowed amounts on lending markets.
COVERAGE GAPS
What must exist before totals publish
A partial component list is never summed into TVL. Missing required components keep both series unavailable.

DefiLlama TVL and L2Beat TVS mirrors remain comparison context. They never fill first-party DeFi-net or Total-assets values.
