Data as of 3 October 2026

Base is a blockchain with $6.4B of total value locked in DeFi protocols on 3 October 2026, up 16.9% over 30 days, which ranks it 3rd of 79 chains tracked here. DefiLlama lists 863 protocols deployed on it, and $5.2B of stablecoin supply circulates on the chain. TVL counts assets deposited in protocols at current prices, leaving out liquid staking, bridges and deposits DefiLlama flags as double-counted.
