HeadStarter

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.

We count the HST tokens locked in the HeadStarter contracts.

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

HeadStarter's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $371.7K based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The market is pricing the token ($371.7K) above the protocol's on-chain TVL ($59.3K) — a mcap/TVL multiple of 6.26× implies investors are paying for expected future fee flows rather than current deposits alone. A further $36K 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.

HeadStarter operates in the Launchpad category of DeFi. It is deployed on Hedera. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

HeadStarter is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Hedera — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Hedera, Hedera-staking, staking), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts. Its token market cap ($371.7K) currently exceeds total value locked ($59.3K) — a mcap/TVL ratio of 6.26 suggests the market is pricing in more growth than current deposits support.
