Gauntlet, one of the leading providers for risk management tools in decentralized finance (DeFi), has seen its total value locked (TVL), a measure of assets deposited across its vaults, fall sharply over the past seven days, dropping 22.84% to $1.325 billion. This has erased roughly $380 million in dollar-denominated value from a week-ago peak of approximately $2.72 billion. The decline accelerated with a single-day slide of 7.57%.
