Most of the rise in defi has stemmed from the smart contract platform market capitalization rising 3.6% over the last day to $357 billion. The top five smart contract tokens have increased in value over the last week except for polygon (MATIC), which is down 3.9% over the past seven days. In terms of TVL by blockchain, Ethereum dominates the $50.34 billion by more than 59% with a total of $29.71 billion. Ethereum is followed by Tron ($5.35B), BSC ($5.1B), Arbitrum ($2B), and Polygon ($1.07B).

As far as liquid staking, the top protocol on Ethereum is Lido, on Tron it’s Neopin Staking, on BSC it’s Ankr, on Arbitrum the top liquid staking app is Tenderize, and the top staking protocol on Polygon is Thunderpokt. For Ethereum, there’s 7,843,929 ETH worth $14.29 billion locked into liquid staking protocols today, with Lido dominating the pack. Behind Lido is Coinbase ($2.15B), Rocketpool ($805.53M), Frax ($224.22M), Stakewise ($158.34M), and Stakehound ($118.85M). The top five bridges, as far as TVL is concerned, include WBTC, Justcryptos, Multichain, Poly Network, and Portal.
