DeFiLlama

DeFiLlama was developed to solve a growing problem in the blockchain ecosystem: fragmented and often inaccurate DeFi analytics. It aggregates data from over 3,000 DeFi projects and more than 240 Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains, offering unparalleled visibility into decentralized finance. At its core, DeFiLlama is a TVL aggregator, but it also goes far beyond that by offering metrics for fees, revenue, stablecoin market cap, and hack history. As DeFi grew, so did the need for transparent, verifiable data. DeFiLlama fills this gap without charging fees or requiring user registration.

The platform’s tools are extensive. From yield farming dashboards to protocol comparisons, DeFiLlama enables users to analyze trends, compare metrics between chains, and even discover early-stage projects likely to offer airdrops. The LlamaSwap feature is a gas-efficient, zero-fee DEX aggregator, while LlamaPay offers crypto-based recurring payments. Additional tools include stablecoin breakdowns, oracle overviews, liquidation tracking, and funding round analytics. These features make it a daily-use resource for DeFi investors and builders alike.

A key factor in its popularity is transparency. All data and methodologies are open-source and contributors from across the globe help maintain the platform. Its dashboard can be customized by chain, sector, and individual protocol, supporting data visualizations and comparisons. Competitors in this space include Dune, Nansen, and Token Terminal, but DeFiLlama remains unmatched in coverage and accessibility.

DeFiLlama offers a powerful set of features that make it essential in the DeFi analytics landscape:

• TVL Tracking Across Chains: Real-time data on Total Value Locked across more than 240 chains, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Arbitrum, and more.
• Open-Source & Community Maintained: All code and data sources are transparent, with contributions from a global developer community.
• LlamaSwap Integration: Users can swap tokens across supported chains with zero fees using DeFiLlama's built-in DEX aggregator.
