Overview
DefiLlama is the most widely trusted, neutral source for DeFi analytics, best known for tracking Total Value Locked (TVL) across protocols and blockchains. It's run independently and avoids token bias, which is exactly why its figures are so widely cited.

Frequently asked questions
What is TVL?
Total Value Locked is the dollar value of assets deposited in a protocol — a rough gauge of usage and trust. It can be inflated by token prices or double-counting, so read it alongside fees and revenue.
Is DefiLlama free?
Yes, entirely free with no account required, and it offers a free public API that many other apps rely on.
Why is DefiLlama considered neutral?
It's independently run and doesn't promote its own token or sell listings, so its rankings aren't pay-to-play — the main reason it's the industry reference for TVL.
