How Aries Markets's TVL is measured
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.
Counts the lamports in each coin container in the Aries contract account.
If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.
Security & Audits
Oracles supply external price data to on-chain contracts. Oracle compromise is a common attack vector — diversified providers reduce single-point-of-failure risk.

Protocol Footprint
Aries Markets is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Aptos — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Aptos, Aptos-borrowed, borrowed), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Price discovery relies on 2 oracle providers (Pyth, Switchboard), 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.
