Amid the news, the protocol’s native token, PEAS, briefly fell 5% to $3.55 before recovering to $3.74 at press time, up 3% over the past 24 hours. The token's market cap currently stands near $37 million, while Peapods’ total value locked (TVL) remains around just $10 million, per data from DefiLlama. The protocol's TVL peaked near $34 million in March 2024.
