In August 2025, DefiLlama-Adapters delivered a focused feature enhancement for the Super DCA Pool2 TVL adapter, unifying two related commits into a single user-facing capability and improving cross-network TVL visibility. Key outcomes include: - Implemented a dedicated TVL adapter for Super DCA Pool2 across Optimism and Base, integrating with Uniswap V4 and using subgraph queries to identify unique position IDs and sum non-DCA token values. - Refactored the metric to the 'doublecounted' TVL approach, aligning with the latest methodology and removing reliance on specific token addresses; updated network configurations for Optimism and Base; ensured pool ID comments reflect the new approach. - Consolidated two commits into the feature: 6b7c5d4962ecd99f53682b426e22463be0d18df3 and 775bd2fd38f9dff695ee21b0ef2cf63fe9224ba0, delivering a cohesive, maintainable implementation. Business impact: enhances accuracy and consistency of cross-chain TVL reporting for Super DCA Pool2, enabling more reliable investor dashboards and faster decision-making. The changes reduce data drift between docs and implementation and lay groundwork for broader adoption of the doublecounted TVL paradigm across adapters. Technologies and skills demonstrated: DeFi data adapters, cross-chain TVL calculations, Uniswap V4 integration, subgraph data querying, refactoring for metric standards, repository configuration management, and close collaboration between code and documentation.
