API3 announced it had surpassed the $1 billion mark in Total Value Secured (TVS), marking a tenfold increase over the past 100 days.
TVS measures the total value of assets protected by a platform or protocol, typically in the crypto or decentralized finance (defi) sectors, indicating the security and adoption of blockchain networks and DeFi platforms.
According to the X post, API3’s oracle services currently secure the assets of 20 protocols, with Blast’s defi project PAC Finance making up 52.1% of the total.
We just blasted off to $1 BILLION TVS. 🎉
