# DeFi TVL Lookup via DefiLlama

> DeFi TVL Lookup via DefiLlama is a paid API for AI agents from defi.genexxis.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-30).

Returns DeFi TVL data from DefiLlama — top protocols by category/chain, chain TVL rankings, or a single protocol with per-chain breakdown and 90-day history.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability defi-tvl-lookup-via-defillama-2d22d1c4
```

Example prompt: Pull the top 15 lending protocols by TVL on Ethereum from DefiLlama, including their 1-day and 7-day TVL changes.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable DeFi TVL data sourced from DefiLlama — especially when you need to rank protocols by category or chain, compare TVL changes over time, or drill into a single protocol's cross-chain breakdown and historical TVL trend. Prefer this over direct DefiLlama API calls when you want a pay-per-call model with no API key management.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown protocol slug returns empty or error result
- Invalid category name returns zero matches
- Chain filter with non-standard casing may return no results
- maxItems outside 1-100 range may be rejected or clamped
- DefiLlama upstream API unavailability causes data fetch failure

## How this service works

DeFi TVL from DefiLlama: top protocols filtered by category and chain (TVL, 1d/7d change, market cap, chains), chain TVL rankings with protocol counts, or one protocol with per-chain TVL split and 90 days of daily TVL history.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the mode used, filter parameters, total matched count, and an array of protocols or chains. Protocol entries include name, slug, TVL, market cap, 1d/7d change, category, and supported chains. Chain mode returns TVL rankings with protocol counts. Protocol mode adds per-chain TVL split and 90 days of daily TVL history.
