Example prompt: What are the latest global DeFi market stats — total market cap, 24-hour volume, DeFi dominance percentage, and how DeFi compares to ETH right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call snapshot of global DeFi market metrics without setting up API keys or a CoinGecko subscription. Ideal for agents that need periodic DeFi health checks, dominance tracking, or ETH/DeFi ratio analysis on demand. Prefer this over direct CoinGecko calls when operating in a wallet-based, keyless x402 payment environment.

## Known failure modes

- CoinGecko upstream unavailable — returns stale or error response
- Rate limiting on the underlying data source causing delayed results
- Empty or null fields if CoinGecko data is temporarily incomplete

## How this service works

Global DeFi snapshot: DeFi market cap (USD), ETH market cap, DeFi-to-ETH ratio, 24h DeFi trading volume, DeFi dominance % of the whole crypto market, and the top DeFi coin with its share of DeFi. The DeFi companion of crypto-global (whole-market caps and BTC/ETH dominance) and of defi-tvl (locked value, a different measure). Cached in-process for 5 minutes.

## Output

A JSON object containing: whether data was cached, the data source (CoinGecko), ETH market cap in USD, global DeFi market cap in USD, DeFi 24h trading volume in USD, DeFi dominance as a percentage of total crypto market cap, DeFi-to-ETH market cap ratio percentage, the top DeFi coin name and its dominance share within DeFi, and the timestamp when data was fetched.
