ALEX

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

ALEX's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $686.5K based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. Token market cap ($686.5K) and TVL ($1M) trade close together, giving a mcap/TVL multiple of 0.68× — broadly the range market participants treat as "fair" for an established DeFi protocol. A further $344.1K sits in the protocol's native staking modules — these deposits are typically locked, vote-bonded, or earning a share of fees, and they reduce the freely circulating float that can hit the market.

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.

ALEX is a DEX — a decentralised exchange where users swap assets against on-chain liquidity pools rather than a central order book. It is deployed on Stacks. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

ALEX is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Stacks — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Stacks, Stacks-staking, staking), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts. Token market cap ($686.5K) and TVL ($1M) trade at a ratio of 0.68, in the range generally considered normal for an established DeFi protocol.
