What is DefiLlama?
DefiLlama launched in 2020 and has become one of the names people actually recognise in on-chain market intelligence. The neutral, open TVL and yield reference for all of DeFi. In day-to-day use the platform is judged on three things: what it costs, how quickly it moves your money, and whether it behaves the same way when markets get busy. On pricing, DefiLlama sits at Free, which we have verified against the public fee schedule rather than the marketing page.
Our rating reflects fees, usability and trust rather than brand size alone. We looked at onboarding friction, how clearly limits and requirements are communicated, what happens when you need support, and whether withdrawals arrive on time. The pros and cons below are the points that would actually change your decision — not a feature list. If DefiLlama is not the right fit, the alternatives further down the page cover the same use case with a different trade-off.
