How this service works
Top DeFi protocols by TVL, optionally filtered by chain and category — Genesis402 / UnyKorn Operator Network
Output
An ordered list of DeFi protocols ranked by Total Value Locked, each entry including the protocol name, TVL value, chain, and category. Results are filtered by the specified chain and/or category if provided, and limited to the requested number of rows (default 20, max 100).
Example use cases
Discovering top lending protocols on a chain
“What are the top 10 lending protocols on Arbitrum right now, ranked by TVL?”
Cross-chain DeFi market overview
“Give me a list of the 50 biggest DeFi protocols across all chains by total value locked — I want to see who's dominating the market.”
Researching DEX liquidity on Solana
“Which decentralized exchanges on Solana have the most liquidity right now? Show me the top 15 Dexs by TVL.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://twin.unykorn.org/defi/top-protocols?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a ranked, filterable snapshot of DeFi protocol TVL — especially when you want to scope results by a specific chain (e.g. Base, Solana) or category (e.g. Lending, Dexs, RWA). Prefer this over generic web searches when you need structured, machine-readable protocol data. It's ideal for market research, competitive analysis, or building DeFi dashboards. Not suitable for historical TVL time-series or individual protocol deep-dives.
Side effects
- Invalid chain name returns empty results or error — must match DefiLlama chain identifiers (e.g. 'Base', 'Solana', not 'base', 'sol')
- Invalid category string returns no matching protocols — must match DefiLlama category labels (e.g. 'Lending', 'Dexs', 'RWA')
- Limit exceeding 100 is rejected by schema validation
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient — returns 402 status
- Stale or delayed TVL data if DefiLlama upstream is lagging
