## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive snapshot of all DeFi protocols and their TVL data from DefiLlama in a single call, especially when building analytics dashboards, comparing protocols, or auditing the DeFi ecosystem. Prefer this over manual DefiLlama scraping or building your own aggregation layer.

## Known failure modes

- DefiLlama upstream API unavailable — returns error or empty result
- Network timeout due to large payload size (hundreds of protocols)
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded on the proxy service
- Malformed response if DefiLlama API changes its schema
