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.
