Methodology
TVL: Equity of the Lighter accounts held by the Brighter Safe, from Lighter’s official API at the latest completed UTC-day boundary: LLP shares backing USDb, staked LIT backing sLITb, and spot collateral, in USD. Brighter’s Ethereum contracts hold no deposits; they are bridged to Lighter, so this overlaps with Lighter LLP.View code on GitHubCompetitors
