Phiat Protocol

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.

Counts the tokens locked in the contracts to be used as collateral to borrow or to earn yield. Borrowed coins are not counted towards the TVL, so only the coins actually locked in the contracts are counted. There's multiple reasons behind this but one of the main ones is to avoid inflating the TVL through cycled lending.

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

A further $215.7K 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.

Phiat Protocol is a Lending protocol that lets users supply assets as collateral, borrow against them, and earn interest from borrowers paying variable or stable rates. It is deployed on Pulse. The codebase has been independently audited (2 reports on file).

Phiat Protocol is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Pulse — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Its TVL is heavily concentrated on Pulse, which holds 65% of all assets — other deployments are comparatively small. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (TWAP); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. Two audit reports are published on DeFiLlama, which is in line with typical practice for protocols at this scale.
