Value Secured represents the aggregate monetary worth of assets or funds that are protected by a blockchain network, protocol, or smart contract. This metric quantifies the economic security provided by the underlying system, indicating the total capital that relies on its integrity. It is a measure of the trust and investment placed within a decentralized application or network. This value reflects economic commitment.
Context
Value secured is a critical metric for assessing the robustness and economic security of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and layer-2 solutions, indicating the amount of capital at stake. A higher value secured often implies greater confidence in the system’s integrity and resistance to attacks, as more economic resources are aligned with its proper functioning. Monitoring this metric provides insight into protocol adoption and perceived safety.
