# DripMetrics AI DEX Efficiency Metrics

> DripMetrics AI DEX Efficiency Metrics is a paid API for AI agents from api.dripmetrics.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Computes on-chain DEX efficiency metrics (annualized turnover, volume-to-TVL ratio) for a given chain or protocol over a configurable time window using DefiLlama data.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://api.dripmetrics.ai/metrics/onchain/dex-efficiency
- Price: $0.05/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

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 dripmetrics-ai-dex-efficiency-metrics-e7055cb3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the DEX efficiency for Uniswap over the last 30 days — give me the annualized turnover and the efficiency label?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quantitative capital efficiency metrics for a specific DeFi protocol or blockchain, particularly volume-to-TVL ratio and annualized turnover derived from DefiLlama on-chain data. It is ideal for DeFi dashboards, trading strategy research, or protocol benchmarking workflows that require structured, computed efficiency scores rather than raw volume or TVL figures.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'window' query parameter returns validation error
- Invalid or unrecognized protocol/chain name may return empty or error response
- DefiLlama data unavailable for a given protocol/chain results in computation failure
- Unsupported window value outside enum (7d, 30d, 90d) returns schema validation error
- Network or upstream DefiLlama outage causes delayed or failed response

## How this service works

DripMetricsAI (https://dripmetrics.ai/) provides on-demand crypto market microstructure metrics, Hyperliquid candle metrics, Polymarket diagnostics, and on-chain DefiLlama metrics for agents, dashboards, and trading workflows.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the metric name ('dex-efficiency'), the target protocol or chain, the time window, annualized turnover value and unit, volume-to-TVL ratio, average TVL in USD, total volume in USD, number of observations, an efficiency label (e.g. 'moderate_efficiency'), data source attribution (DefiLlama), and the computation timestamp.
