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.

We aggregated the assets staked across Stader staking protocols

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

Stader's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $10.2M based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The token's market cap ($10.2M) is small relative to deposits secured by the protocol ($379.5M); a mcap/TVL multiple of 0.03× is sometimes read as a discount, though it can also reflect minimal fee accrual to the token.

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.

Stader is a Liquid Staking protocol that issues liquid receipt tokens against staked deposits, so users earn validator rewards without locking up the underlying asset. It is deployed across 6 chains, including Ethereum, Hedera, Binance, Fantom and 2 other chains. The codebase has been independently audited (3 reports on file). DeFiLlama tracks 1 historical event for this protocol since 2022.

Stader runs a multi-chain deployment, with smart contracts live on 6 networks. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Ethereum, Hedera, Binance), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. 3 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 ($10.2M) is small relative to TVL ($379.5M) — a mcap/TVL ratio of 0.03 is often read as the token being structurally undervalued versus the activity it secures.
