market-analysis

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Patterns for DeFi market analysis, screening, and comparison using DefiLlama MCP tools. Covers valuation ratios (P/S, P/F), growth screening with pct_change columns, multi-metric protocol comparison, category comparison, and cross-entity analysis. Use when users ask to compare protocols, screen for undervalued projects, analyze growth trends, or do sector analysis.

DeFi Market Analysis

Valuation Ratios

Pre-computed in

defillama:get_protocol_metrics

and

defillama:get_category_metrics

:

```
ps_ratio
```
= mcap / annualised revenue. Lower = potentially undervalued relative to revenue.
```
pf_ratio
```
= mcap / annualised fees. Lower = more fee-efficient valuation.

Growth Screening

Use

*_pct_change

columns for momentum analysis. Values are decimals (0.35 = +35%, -0.13 = -13%).

Available windows:

*_7d_pct_change

,

*_30d_pct_change

,

*_90d_pct_change

Metrics with pct_change:

tvl_base

,

fees_1d

,

revenue_1d

,

price

,

volume_dexs_1d

Sort by any pct_change column to find fastest movers.

Protocol Comparison

Use array params for side-by-side comparison in a single call:

defillama:get_protocol_metrics(
  protocol: ["aave", "compound-v3", "morpho"],
  metrics: ["tvl_base", "fees_1d", "revenue_1d", "ps_ratio"]
)

This returns one row per protocol, which is more efficient than calling once per protocol.

Category Comparison

Use

defillama:get_category_metrics

to compare DeFi sectors:

defillama:get_category_metrics(
  category: "Lending",
  metrics: ["tvl_base", "fees_1d", "protocol_count"]
)

Call once per category in parallel for side-by-side comparison.

Token Sector Screening

Use

defillama:get_token_prices

for token-level analysis:

defillama:get_token_prices(token: "coingecko:ethereum", period: "30d")

Historical Trends

Use

period

for trend analysis:

Short-term:
```
7d
```
or
```
30d
```
Medium-term:
```
90d
```
or
```
180d
```
Long-term:
```
365d
```
Custom range:
```
start_date
```
/
```
end_date
```
(YYYY-MM-DD) overrides
```
period
```

Historical queries return daily data points with a

date

column.

Cross-Entity Analysis

Compare across entity types using parallel tool calls:

"ETH price vs Ethereum TVL" ->

defillama:get_token_prices

+

defillama:get_chain_metrics

"Aave TVL vs AAVE token price" ->

defillama:get_protocol_metrics

+

defillama:get_token_prices

"Lending vs DEX category" -> two
```
defillama:get_category_metrics
```
calls in parallel

Examples

Example 1: User: "Most undervalued DeFi protocols by P/S ratio" Tool call:

defillama:get_protocol_metrics(sort_by: "ps_ratio asc", limit: 20, metrics: ["tvl_base", "revenue_1d", "ps_ratio", "mcap"])

Example 2: User: "Which protocols grew TVL most in last 30 days?" Tool call:

defillama:get_protocol_metrics(sort_by: "tvl_base_30d_pct_change desc", limit: 10, metrics: ["tvl_base", "tvl_base_30d_pct_change"])

Example 3: User: "Compare Aave and Compound fees" Tool call:

defillama:get_protocol_metrics(protocol: ["aave", "compound-v3"], metrics: ["tvl_base", "fees_1d", "revenue_1d"])

Example 4: User: "Compare Lending vs DEX fees and TVL" Tool call:

defillama:get_category_metrics(category: ["Lending", "DEX"], metrics: ["tvl_base", "fees_1d", "revenue_1d"])

Example 5: User: "Aave TVL trend over 90 days" Tool call:

defillama:get_protocol_metrics(protocol: "aave", metrics: ["tvl_base"], period: "90d")

Example 6: User: "Aave fees in Q1 2025" Tool call:

defillama:get_protocol_metrics(protocol: "aave", metrics: ["fees_1d"], start_date: "2025-01-01", end_date: "2025-03-31")
