ZeroLend Lending

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

ZeroLend Lending's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $70.3K based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The token's market cap ($70.3K) is small relative to deposits secured by the protocol ($4.6M); a mcap/TVL multiple of 0.02× is sometimes read as a discount, though it can also reflect minimal fee accrual to the token. A further $4.9K sits in the protocol's native staking modules — these deposits are typically locked, vote-bonded, or earning a share of fees, and they reduce the freely circulating float that can hit the market.

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.

ZeroLend Lending is published as a versioned release inside the Zerolend protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

ZeroLend Lending is a Lending protocol that lets users supply assets as collateral, borrow against them, and earn interest from borrowers paying variable or stable rates. It is deployed across 11 chains, including Linea, zkSync Era, Blast, Ethereum and 7 other chains. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file). DeFiLlama tracks 1 historical event for this protocol since 2026.

ZeroLend Lending runs a multi-chain deployment, with smart contracts live on 11 networks. TVL is comparatively balanced across networks: even the largest deployment (borrowed) holds only 36% of the protocol's value. Price discovery relies on 5 oracle providers (RedStone, Chainlink, Pyth, and others), which diversifies the data-feed surface but also expands the set of third parties users implicitly trust. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts. Its token market cap ($70.3K) is small relative to TVL ($4.6M) — a mcap/TVL ratio of 0.02 is often read as the token being structurally undervalued versus the activity it secures.
