How Does TVL Relate to a Protocol’s Security?

While not a direct security measure, a high Total Value Locked (TVL) often indicates that a protocol has a large and active community of users and a significant amount of capital at stake. This suggests a greater degree of trust and robustness.

Conversely, a low TVL can make a protocol more vulnerable to economic attacks or manipulation due to lower liquidity.
