Gain

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 corresponds to the sum of rsETH from all active loans managed by the pool and the rsETH balance held within the pool across all of the GAIN vaults.

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

Gain is published as a versioned release inside the Kerneldao 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.

Gain is a versioned release inside a larger protocol family. View the parent for combined TVL and all sibling versions.

Gain is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Ethereum — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. No public audit reports are linked from DeFiLlama for this protocol despite a non-trivial TVL — treat any deposit as carrying material smart-contract risk.
