DefiLlama has also started monitoring Valdora Finance, which is a decentralized liquid staking protocol on ZIGChain. The Total Value Locked (TVL) of the platform has already reached $10.04 million, which is an indication that users are already using it and that they are becoming increasingly confident in the project. On November 13, 2025, it was announced by @DefiLlama that Valdora was included in one of the most reputable analytics databases of DeFi.
Valdora Finance: Liquid Staking Entrant
Valdora Finance will enable stakeholders to deposit their $ZIGs and also be issued with stZIG. These stZIG tokens are liquid, and also the users can use the assets in other decentralized applications and get staking rewards. Valdora is non-custodial where the users will have all the control of their funds. Its combination with Valdora Finance promotes the increased liquidity choice and appeals to investors and developers. The ecosystem of ZIGChain aims at being scalable and cross-chain compatible to improve the user experience and minimize the bottlenecks of transactions.
DefiLlama tracking is a powerful affirmation of ZIGChain, where it is one of the networks that is actively building its staking and liquidity systems.
Role and Market Validation of DefiLlama
DefiLlama keeps an eye on more than 3,000 DeFi protocols and possesses one of the most trusted datasets in the crypto analytics. Its adoption of Valdora Finance proves that the protocol passes the protocol visibility and adoption criterion adopted by the platform. Valdora is one of the new and promising DeFi projects with a TVL of up to $10.04 million, which has potential to increase to higher heights as more people adopt it. Comparatively, the major liquid staking portals such as Lido contain billions of TVL, which will provide a clear growth direction to Valdora. DefiLlama has the latest aggregates of the total market TVL of over 70 billion DeFi. Its initial TVL values and place on ZIGChain will lead to a stable growth.
Security, Regulation and Risks
Valdora Finance is a non-custodial and decentralized system, which minimizes the custodial risk. Nonetheless, it is subject to regulatory oversight just as any other DeFi project as well as smart contract risks. The tighter audit standards as of 2022 have led to most large platforms using multi-layer security audits, and the use of audit protocols in DeFi has grown.
Users who stake via Valdora receive incentives depending on the performance of the validators but have to take into account a transaction fee and the potential slashing of the node due to the presence of such slashing.
Future of Valdora and ZIGChain
The partnership between DefiLlama and Valdora Finance makes ZIGChain more credible to the international DeFi ecosystem. Valdora may become one of the financial hubs of ZIGChain as the number of TVL and staking participants increases.
This listing increases awareness, brings on board new users and contributes to the ambition of ZIGChain developing a decentralized liquid staking innovation hub.
