Genius Yield tokenomics and on-chain capital
A further $236.1K 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.

Protocol Profile
Genius Yield is a DEX — a decentralised exchange where users swap assets against on-chain liquidity pools rather than a central order book. It is deployed on Cardano.
TVL Distribution by Chain
TVL spans 3 chains across the deployment. See the breakdown below for per-chain values.
Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
Genius Yield is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Cardano — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Cardano-staking, staking, Cardano), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users.
