How Kintsu'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.
TVL is calculated as total MON, HYPE under management by sMON, sHYPE vault contract: batched deposits, staked, but excluding MON, HYPE being unbonded.
If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.
