Cross-chain Flow

Capital leaves a footprint before price does. When money deposits into a chain's DeFi, its total value locked rises; when it leaves, TVL bleeds. We rank the major chains by 7-day TVL change — a clean read on which ecosystems are pulling liquidity in and which are draining, often ahead of the narrative.

How to read a row → Base · $3.2B · +$180M · +6%: Base holds $3.2B in DeFi and pulled in ~$180M (up 6%) over the week — capital is rotating toward it; a chain to watch before price catches up.

How to read it

TVL (total value locked) is the dollar value deposited in a chain's DeFi — a proxy for how much capital is actively parked there. A rising 7-day change means net deposits: builders, farmers and treasuries moving in. Falling means the opposite. Rotation shows up here early — a chain gaining TVL for weeks while its token lags is a setup worth a look; a chain bleeding TVL into a bounce is one to fade. Read it as flow, not a price target — TVL can rise on incentives that later unwind. Pair with price and the screener.

Signals, not calls. TVL moves on farming incentives and token prices too, not just organic demand — a big number isn't automatically bullish. Data is live open on-chain TVL, past behaviour ≠ future.
