How this service works
DeFi TVL grouped by category (Lending, Dexs, Liquid Staking, CDP, Yield...): value locked, share of the total and number of protocols per category. Shows where the money is by product type. Live from DefiLlama.
Output
Returns an array of DeFi categories each with: category name (e.g. Lending, Dexs, Liquid Staking, CDP, Yield), total TVL in USD, percentage share of aggregate DeFi TVL, and number of protocols in that category. Also includes the overall total DeFi TVL and a metadata note. Data is sourced live from DefiLlama.
Example use cases
DeFi sector allocation research
“Give me the current DeFi TVL breakdown by product category — I want to see the top 20 sectors like Lending, DEXs, Liquid Staking, and CDP, along with their market share and how many protocols are in each.”
Liquid staking market share check
“What percentage of total DeFi TVL is currently held in liquid staking protocols, and how does that compare to lending and DEXs?”
DeFi trend monitoring for newsletter
“Pull the top 10 DeFi categories by TVL right now so I can include them in my weekly DeFi newsletter — I need the dollar amounts and market share percentages.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/defi-categorias-pago?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a high-level DeFi market structure view grouped by protocol type/category rather than individual protocol TVL. Prefer this over per-protocol endpoints when the goal is sector allocation, market share analysis, or understanding which DeFi verticals dominate. Ideal for dashboards, newsletters, and investment research requiring a macro DeFi breakdown.
Side effects
- DefiLlama upstream unavailable — returns error or stale data
- Invalid 'limite' value outside 1-50 range — validation error
- Network timeout if DefiLlama API is slow
- Missing or malformed request body — returns schema validation error
