Cauldron

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.

Scrape the blockchain and filter for spent transaction outputs that match the cauldron contract's redeem script. Check if the transaction has an output with a locking script that matches the redeem script in the input. A match on locking script means the funds are still locked in the DEX contract. Aggregate the value of funds in contract utxos.

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