Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

The token's market cap ($1.8M) is small relative to deposits secured by the protocol ($15.9M); a mcap/TVL multiple of 0.11× is sometimes read as a discount, though it can also reflect minimal fee accrual to the token.
