Daily observation · UTC:
The reported dollar total was 1.22% lower compared with 2026-10-01. This comparison is calculated by SynthSignal from the same daily series.
To investigate the change, compare individual chains and protocols at the source, then separate token-price effects from changes in deposits. TVL alone cannot identify the cause.

DEX snapshots are eligible for a shared check about every two hours; proposals, security notices, CFTC data and the DeFi brief about every six hours; contracts about every twelve hours. Checks use the existing news update job and visits to this page. Failed checks keep a clearly labeled saved snapshot for up to seven days. Underlying records can be older than the check.
The security watch covers go-ethereum, OpenZeppelin Contracts and its upgradeable package, ethers, web3, bitcoinjs-lib, Rust bitcoin and solana-program. It shows a small sample of recently updated advisories from the last year. The Ethereum watch samples three proposal documents from recent repository changes. Neither is exhaustive.
Text and comparisons are prepared by SynthSignal. Ethereum EIPs are CC0; GitHub advisories use CC BY 4.0 with links to the original notices. DefiLlama figures are used for an attributed editorial data brief under its press-use policy. DEX Screener supplies the limited pool snapshot. Sources do not endorse SynthSignal.
