Lien

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

Lien's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of 13.882,7 $ based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The token's market cap (13.882,7 $) is small relative to deposits secured by the protocol (207.079,1 $); a mcap/TVL multiple of 0.07× is sometimes read as a discount, though it can also reflect minimal fee accrual to the token.

Market cap and supply figures are sourced from DeFiLlama's price feed (which reconciles CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and on-chain DEX prices). Treasury and staking values reflect on-chain balances controlled by the protocol at last sync.

Lien is a Options protocol where traders open leveraged, perpetual, or option positions priced off oracle feeds and settled in collateral held by the contract. It is deployed on Ethereum. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

Lien is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Ethereum — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Chainlink); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts. Its token market cap (13.882,7 $) is small relative to TVL (207.079,1 $) — a mcap/TVL ratio of 0.07 is often read as the token being structurally undervalued versus the activity it secures.
