The Standard

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 aggregated assets locked in The Standard Smart Vaults.

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

The Standard's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $10K based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. Token market cap ($10K) and TVL ($10.2K) trade close together, giving a mcap/TVL multiple of 0.98× — broadly the range market participants treat as "fair" for an established DeFi protocol.

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.

The Standard is a CDP 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 Arbitrum. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

The Standard is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Arbitrum — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Chainlink); 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. Token market cap ($10K) and TVL ($10.2K) trade at a ratio of 0.98, in the range generally considered normal for an established DeFi protocol.
