TVL: TVL is calculated as total MON, HYPE under management by sMON, sHYPE vault contract: batched deposits, staked, but excluding MON, HYPE being unbonded.View code on GitHubFees: Total staking yields from sMON and sHYPE liquid staking tokens, calculated from exchange rate appreciation (immune to deposit/withdrawal effects).View code on GitHubRevenue: Management fee captured via virtual shares (LST inflation) minted to DAO Treasury. Fee rate is governance-controlled; empirically observed at ~0.5% of staking rewards.View code on GitHubKintsu history
