Protocol TVL
About Hidden Hand
Hidden Hand is a marketplace for governance incentives. Protocols can leverage Hidden Hand to enable more efficient governance processes and to engage their voters, while users can earn extra yield on their favorite vote escrowed governance tokens through bribes.

How Hidden Hand's TVL is measured
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.
Sums bribe tokens deposited on Hidden Hand Reward Distributors, Bribe Vaults and Harvester contracts and veTHE deposited in Marionette.
If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.
Hidden Hand codebase lineage and protocol family
Hidden Hand is published as a versioned release inside the Dinero 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.

Protocol Footprint
Hidden Hand operates on 4 networks (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Binance), keeping its surface area narrower than chain-agnostic peers. Roughly 99% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism), 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.
