• If you would like to add a volume adapter please submit the PR here.
• If you would like to add a liquidations adapter, please refer to this readme document for details.

1. Once your adapter has been merged, it takes time to show on the UI. If more than 24 hours have passed, please let us know in Discord.
2. Sorry, We no longer accept fetch adapter for new projects, we prefer the tvl to computed from blockchain data, if you have trouble with creating a the adapter, please hop onto our discord, we are happy to assist you.
3. Please fill the form below only if the PR is for listing a new protocol else it can be ignored/replaced with reason/details about the PR
4. For updating listing info It is a different repo, you can find your listing in this file: https://github.com/DefiLlama/defillama-server/blob/master/defi/src/protocols/data2.ts, you can edit it there and put up a PR
5. Do not edit/push package-lock.json file as part of your changes, we use lockfileVersion 2, and most use v1 and using that messes up our CI
6. No need to go to our discord and announce that you've created a PR, we monitor all PRs and will review it asap

please use the source chain here (ethereum) since thats where the TVL is held

Hey @waynebruce0x,

Although bridged assets are held on the Ethereum side, the assets are currently being used to generate yield via AO's fair launch.

I have retrieved the balances via Ethereum as I figured it would be more straightforward for the adapter, would building the adapter AO side make more sense for the TVL to be counted in AO?

Thanks!

I don't want to take up too much of your time sending you this, but this is a great article on how the bridge works :)

[waynebruce0x]

We count TVL on the chain where the tokens are locked therefore the fair launch / bridge TVL can only be tracked on Ethereum, not AO. This is the same methodology we use across all protocols, see Rings for example

[t8]

I think I’m misunderstanding something. Does this mean that when the AO bridge unlocks on the other side we will be able to track the locked assets on both Ethereum and AO? In other words— how would we go about tracking TVL in AO otherwise?

[waynebruce0x]

Assets locked in this bridge will be counted as AO bridge on https://defillama.com/bridged . To show as TVL on https://defillama.com/chain/ao the bridged assets must be locked in Defi protocols
