chain-ecosystem

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Full blockchain ecosystem analysis covering TVL, top protocols, bridge flows, stablecoin supply, DEX volume, fees, and user activity on a chain. Use when the user asks about a blockchain's ecosystem, "what's happening on Solana", chain health, or a chain-level overview.

Chain Ecosystem Analysis

Produce a comprehensive overview of a blockchain ecosystem by combining chain-level metrics with protocol, bridge, stablecoin, and user data.

Workflow

Step 1 - Resolve the chain entity

If the chain slug is unknown or ambiguous, resolve it first.

defillama:resolve_entity
  entity_type: "chain"
  name: "<user-provided name>"

Step 2 - Chain-level metrics

Fetch aggregate TVL, fees, revenue, DEX volume, and trends.

defillama:get_chain_metrics
  chain: "<slug>"

Key fields:

tvl_base

,

chain_fees_1d

,

chain_revenue_1d

,

app_fees_1d

,

volume_dexs_1d

,

tvl_base_7d_pct_change

,

tvl_base_30d_pct_change

.

Step 3 - Top protocols on the chain

Identify the largest protocols by TVL on this chain.

defillama:get_protocol_metrics
  chain: "<slug>"

Step 4 - Bridge flows

Measure capital entering and leaving the chain.

defillama:get_bridge_flows
  chain: "<slug>"

Positive net flow = capital inflow (bullish). Negative = outflow.

Step 5 - Stablecoin supply

Assess stablecoin liquidity available on the chain.

defillama:get_stablecoin_supply
  chain: "<slug>"

Step 6 - User activity

Fetch active addresses and transaction counts.

defillama:get_user_activity
  chain: "<slug>"

Output Format

Present the report with these sections in order:

Chain Overview - Summary paragraph: what the chain is known for, current positioning in the market.
Key Metrics - Table of TVL, fees, revenue, DEX volume, and percentage changes.
Top Protocols - Top 5-10 protocols by TVL with category and TVL.
Bridge Activity - Net flows, top bridges, inflow vs outflow breakdown.
Stablecoin Liquidity - Total stablecoin supply on chain, top stablecoins, and trend direction.
User Activity - Active addresses, transaction counts, growth trends.

Tips

Rising stablecoin supply + positive bridge flows = capital accumulating on chain (bullish signal).
Compare chain metrics to the previous period to identify momentum.
If a single protocol dominates TVL (>50%), note the concentration risk.
DEX volume relative to TVL indicates capital efficiency.
Use

for custom date ranges when analyzing specific periods (e.g.,
```
start_date: "2025-01-01", end_date: "2025-03-31"
```
).
