Protocol Deep Dive

Protocol Deep Dive

Perform a thorough analysis of a single DeFi protocol by combining multiple data sources into one structured report.

Workflow

Step 1 - Resolve the protocol entity

If the protocol slug is unknown or ambiguous, resolve it first.

defillama:resolve_entity
  entity_type: "protocol"
  name: "<user-provided name>"

Step 2 - Core protocol metrics

Fetch TVL, fees, revenue, market cap, ratios, and trend data.

defillama:get_protocol_metrics
  protocol: "<slug>"

Key fields to surface: tvl_base, fees_1d, revenue_1d, mcap, ps_ratio, pf_ratio, tvl_base_7d_pct_change, tvl_base_30d_pct_change.

Step 3 - Top yield pools

Retrieve the protocol's highest-TVL pools to show yield opportunities.

defillama:get_yield_pools
  protocol: "<slug>"

Highlight pools with the highest TVL and APY. Note any pools where the base APY is very low and rewards dominate (sustainability signal).

Step 4 - Recent events

Check for hacks, fundraises, or other notable events.

defillama:get_events
  protocol: "<slug>"
  event_type: "hacks"

Also check for fundraising activity:
