About Sherlock
Sherlock is a risk management protocol whose mission is to make DeFi safe for the masses. Sherlock combines protocol-to-protocol coverage with a decentralized smart contract security team to bring large amounts of affordable coverage to DeFi and beyond

How Sherlock'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.
We count USDC that has been staked into the contracts (staking pool). Periodically USDC is swept into Aave, so we also count the aUSDC that is held (in a separate contract from the main contract).
If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.
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.
Protocol Profile
Sherlock is a Insurance 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 Ethereum. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
Sherlock is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Ethereum — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (UMA); 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.
Official Resources & Links
