Ancient8 tokenomics and on-chain capital
Ancient8's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $4.6M based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The market is pricing the token ($4.6M) above the protocol's on-chain TVL ($273.5K) — a mcap/TVL multiple of 16.87× implies investors are paying for expected future fee flows rather than current deposits alone.
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.
