Protocol TVL
About Iron Bank
Iron Bank is a decentralized protocol to protocol lending platform. It allows trusted protocols to borrow funds without posting collateral via whitelisting. It is helping build a better and safer DeFi lending ecosystem, by driving capital efficiency as the liquidity infrastructure and backbone for DeFi and CeFi.
Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.
Iron Bank tokenomics and on-chain capital
Iron Bank's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $32.8K based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The token's market cap ($32.8K) is small relative to deposits secured by the protocol ($227.1K); a mcap/TVL multiple of 0.14× is sometimes read as a discount, though it can also reflect minimal fee accrual to the token.
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.
Security & Audits
Oracles supply external price data to on-chain contracts. Oracle compromise is a common attack vector — diversified providers reduce single-point-of-failure risk.

Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
Iron Bank operates on 4 networks (Ethereum, Optimism, Avalanche, Fantom), keeping its surface area narrower than chain-agnostic peers. TVL is comparatively balanced across networks: even the largest deployment (borrowed) holds only 32% of the protocol's value. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Chainlink); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts. Its token market cap ($32.8K) is small relative to TVL ($227.1K) — a mcap/TVL ratio of 0.14 is often read as the token being structurally undervalued versus the activity it secures.
