Colony

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.

Staking is calculated based on CLY tokens locked on Colony staking contracts. Vesting is calculated as CLY tokens in the vesting contract. TVL also includes rewards in various tokens distributed in the staking contract, actual fundraised stablecoins in projects (Nests), and liquidity from Colony Dex.

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

Colony's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $735K based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The market is pricing the token ($735K) above the protocol's on-chain TVL ($123.7K) — a mcap/TVL multiple of 5.94× implies investors are paying for expected future fee flows rather than current deposits alone. A further $419.7K 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.

Colony operates in the Yield category of DeFi. It is deployed on Avalanche. The codebase has been independently audited (3 reports on file). DeFiLlama tracks 4 historical events for this protocol since 2022.

Colony is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Avalanche — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. TVL is comparatively balanced across networks: even the largest deployment (Avalanche-staking) holds only 35% of the protocol's value. 3 public audit reports are linked from DeFiLlama, which is on the higher end of transparency for the DeFi sector — most protocols of comparable TVL publish far fewer. Its token market cap ($735K) currently exceeds total value locked ($123.7K) — a mcap/TVL ratio of 5.94 suggests the market is pricing in more growth than current deposits support.
