About DefiLlama
DefiLlama is an open-source DeFi data aggregator that tracks TVL, fees, revenue, stablecoins, DEX volumes, bridges, and yields across hundreds of chains. Its core narrative is transparency: methodology is publicly auditable, paid listings are rejected, and protocols cannot influence reported numbers. It addresses the market pain of fragmented on-chain data and inflated TVL claims — its founder publicly exposed a project faking profits with random numbers, and it explicitly excludes borrowed assets from TVL to prevent looping trades from inflating figures.
In the past half year (March to September 2026): it launched LlamaAI, a natural-language query assistant that was integrated into Telegram for daily on-chain alerts, and added an RWA dashboard plus OPEN stablecoin index tracking. Negatives: in May 2026, its affiliated media outlet DL News announced it would shut down at month-end due to declining traffic and worsening search distribution; total DeFi TVL stood at roughly $85 billion, down about 50% from the prior cycle's $171 billion peak.
DefiLlama started as a TVL aggregator and evolved into DeFi data infrastructure. Key milestones: acquired OTC data provider Bulletin to expand on-chain data coverage; launched a universal token rating dashboard standardizing evaluation of 100+ DeFi tokens with 0-100 scores and AAA-CCC grades; introduced an off-chain proof/verification service aiming to audit bank account balances and other off-chain data; and in the Figure RWA data dispute, upheld on-chain verifiability standards, establishing principles of data transparency. These milestones reflect its evolution from a single TVL tool to a multi-dimensional data and verification platform.
