Bridged TVL by chain: how much of a chain's capital came from somewhere else
Blockchains| Provider | Bridged TVL | Bridged share | 7d change | 7d vs peers | Native | Canonical | External |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ink | $369.36M | 100.0% | - | 0.50% | - | $53.87M | $313.89M |
| Polygon | $3.62B | 95.5% | - | 2.72% | $170.75M | $2.27B | $1.34B |

Bridged TVL is value secured by the chain's bridge, not value locked in its DeFi protocols; a chain can rank high on one and low on the other. The split is L2Beat's: canonical is escrowed on the host chain by the chain's own contracts, external came through a third-party bridge, native was minted here. Rows are the chains L2Beat tracks in its scaling summary; a settled L1 has no row by construction, not by omission. Size is not quality: a large balance says capital came, not that it stayed.
Stablecoin flow by chain: where dollars actually moved over 30 days

| Polygon | - | $3.31B | - | - |

Stablecoin float is where dollars are parked, not what they do. A chain can take in a billion that sits idle, and lose float to a single issuer redeeming. The figure is DefiLlama's chain-wide pegged-USD aggregate, every issuer combined; it does not separate a bridge inflow from a native mint, and a dollar bridged to an L2 counts on both chains, so rows are not additive. Read the net dollars with the percentage beside them: the same $400M is a rounding error on Ethereum and a doubling elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions

How is the Ink vs Polygon comparison measured?
Every benchmark on this page uses the same open methodology, published at https://openchainbench.com/methodology. Data is CC-BY-4.0. Measurement harnesses are MIT-licensed.
How this pair was selected
Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing; panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.
