Stable leads blockchains in 30-day TVL growth, Monad hits $621M after Aave deployment

Two names are dominating the DeFi leaderboard right now, and neither of them is Ethereum, Solana, or Arbitrum. Stable, a blockchain most people haven’t heard of, posted the highest 30-day TVL growth of any chain tracked by DefiLlama. Meanwhile, Monad’s total value locked surged to $621 million, fueled largely by Aave’s decision to set up shop on the high-throughput Layer 1.

Stable’s quiet breakout

Stable’s 30-day TVL growth clocked in at approximately 19.70%, enough to lead every blockchain on DefiLlama’s rankings. In absolute terms, the numbers are still modest: a DeFi TVL of around $33 million and a bridged TVL exceeding $129 million.

The gap between Stable’s DeFi TVL and its bridged TVL is worth noting. A bridged TVL of $129 million against $33 million in active DeFi usage suggests a significant amount of capital is parked on the chain but not yet deployed into protocols.
