Router 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.

All tokens locked in Router Protocol contracts.

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

Router Protocol's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $943.9K based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The market is pricing the token ($943.9K) above the protocol's on-chain TVL ($9.9K) — a mcap/TVL multiple of 95.56× implies investors are paying for expected future fee flows rather than current deposits alone.

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.

Router Protocol is a Cross Chain Bridge protocol that moves assets and messages between blockchains, locking value on the source chain and minting or releasing a representation on the destination. It is deployed across 11 chains, including Aurora, Binance, Polygon, Optimism and 7 other chains. The codebase has been independently audited (4 reports on file).

Router Protocol runs a multi-chain deployment, with smart contracts live on 11 networks. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Aurora, Binance, Polygon), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. 4 public audit reports are linked from DeFiLlama, which is on the higher end of transparency for the DeFi sector — most protocols of comparable TVL publish far fewer. Its token market cap ($943.9K) currently exceeds total value locked ($9.9K) — a mcap/TVL ratio of 95.56 suggests the market is pricing in more growth than current deposits support.
