DefiLlama is a read-focused analytics service for examining DeFi protocols and blockchains. It brings together TVL, fees, revenue, volume, yield and stablecoin datasets in searchable tables and historical charts.
What you can do
Compare protocols and chains: review tracked metrics across projects, networks, categories and time periods.
Check how metrics are defined: use the published methodology to distinguish TVL, fees, revenue, active addresses and other measures before comparing them.
Work with the data: query public API endpoints without authentication, or use subscription endpoints with an API key for additional datasets.
Continue on mobile: the official iOS and Android app provides LlamaAI access, with limited prompts available before signing in.
Access and requirements
No wallet connection is needed to read the public analytics dashboards, and the free API does not require authentication. An account is optional for basic public use but is required for some saved, personalised and subscription features. The paid API uses a separate base URL and an API key. The interface and documentation verified for this profile are in English.
Who it is useful for
Useful for: comparing DeFi activity across protocols and chains, checking metric history, exploring yields or stablecoin supply, and integrating public data into a spreadsheet, script or application.
Less suitable for: users looking for a wallet, custody service or a single interface for executing transactions. The main DefiLlama workspace is designed for research and data; separate transaction-oriented tools have their own requirements.
Main limits: coverage varies by dataset and protocol, and the meaning of each metric affects comparisons. Some exports, custom dashboards, AI usage and API datasets require an account or subscription, with limits that depend on the selected plan.
