Trusted on‑chain data for confident trading
DefiLlama aggregates transparent DeFi metrics — TVL, pool composition, historical volume, and on‑chain receipts — then couples analytics with a secure exchange guide to help traders and builders make verifiable cross‑chain decisions.
Real‑time analytics
Live TVL dashboards, liquidity heatmaps, and contract-level metrics so you can spot arbitrage, MEV and shifting liquidity instantly.
Route transparency
Every swap route, relayer handoff and bridge step is recorded and available to audit — compare alternative routes before signing.
Security scoring
Signals from audits, on‑chain history and community flags are combined into readable risk summaries for contracts and relayers.
Composable APIs
Simulate swaps, fetch route confidence, and embed analytics into wallets or dashboards via lightweight endpoints.
Tools & Guides
Practical tools for traders and developers: route simulator, on‑chain proofs, relayer health checks, and a secure exchange checklist.
Compare multiple exchange+bridge combinations, gas estimates and final price impact before signing.
Metrics on latency, success rate, and reputation for each relayer in the network.
Quick summaries of audits, code changes, and open security issues for major contracts.
Secure Exchange Checklist
- Verify domain & contract addresses against official sources.
- Simulate route and inspect on‑chain receipts before signing.
- Use hardware wallets and limit approvals when possible.
- Prefer relayers with strong on‑chain uptime and transparent fee structures.

Developer integrations
Lightweight SDKs and REST endpoints make it easy to surface price, TVL, and route confidence in your wallet or dApp. Embed the Route Simulator to give users full visibility into the path a trade will take.

Why transparency matters
Cross‑chain DeFi increases complexity: bridges, relayers and multi‑hop swaps add points of failure. DefiLlama’s mission is to make those steps visible, auditable and comparable so users can make informed decisions and third‑party auditors can trace final settlements back to source events.
