defi_tvl
Read-onlyIdempotent
Top DeFi protocols by TVL, filterable by chain & category — Top DeFi protocols ranked by total value locked (DefiLlama), with 1d/7d change — CEX/Chain/Bridge excluded so this is real DeFi. Pass chain= (e.g. base) to filter to protocols active on it, category= (e.g. Lending, Dexes) to narrow, limit= up to 50. tvlUsd is the protocol's GLOBAL TVL; chain filters presence, not per-chain TVL. The DeFi-rankings commodity, served cheap. Not financial advice. Priced $0.01 per call over x402 on Base; send a prepaid x-credit-token header for unlimited calls, or get 1 free call/day per tool. No wallet or API key required.
