Argo Finance

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

DeFiLlama publishes the exact rules used to aggregate on-chain balances into the headline TVL figure shown on this page. The methodology below is the team's own source-of-truth description.

The TVL is counted as the total CRO that is currently being delegated. We query the crypto.org api for the delegations and sum up the CRO being delegated. The Staking TVL is computed as the total XARGO being pledged on our platform. ARGO and XARGO has a 1:1, with XARGO being a pledged version of ARGO. The Staking TVL is calculated by getting the totalSupply() of XARGO in our contract.

If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.

A further $4.5K 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.

Argo Finance is a Liquid Staking protocol that issues liquid receipt tokens against staked deposits, so users earn validator rewards without locking up the underlying asset. It is deployed on Cronos. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

Argo Finance is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Cronos — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Cronos, Cronos-staking, staking), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Price discovery relies on 2 oracle providers (Witnet, DIA), which diversifies the data-feed surface but also expands the set of third parties users implicitly trust. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
