Ethos Reserve

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.

TVL is fetched from the Ethos Reserve subgraph and the Byte Masons token price api.

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

Ethos Reserve is published as a versioned release inside the Cod3x protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

Ethos Reserve is a CDP protocol that lets users supply assets as collateral, borrow against them, and earn interest from borrowers paying variable or stable rates. It is deployed on Optimism. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

Ethos Reserve is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Optimism — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
