Protocol Deep Dive

Perform a thorough analysis of a single DeFi protocol by combining multiple data sources into one structured report.

Workflow

Step 1 - Resolve the protocol entity

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

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

Step 2 - Core protocol metrics

Fetch TVL, fees, revenue, market cap, ratios, and trend data.

defillama:get_protocol_metrics
  protocol: "<slug>"

Key fields to surface:

tvl_base

,

fees_1d

,

revenue_1d

,

mcap

,

ps_ratio

,

pf_ratio

,

tvl_base_7d_pct_change

,

tvl_base_30d_pct_change

.

Step 3 - Top yield pools

Retrieve the protocol's highest-TVL pools to show yield opportunities.

defillama:get_yield_pools
  protocol: "<slug>"

Highlight pools with the highest TVL and APY. Note any pools where the base APY is very low and rewards dominate (sustainability signal).

Step 4 - Recent events

Check for hacks, fundraises, or other notable events.

defillama:get_events
  protocol: "<slug>"
  event_type: "hacks"

Also check for fundraising activity:

defillama:get_events
  protocol: "<slug>"
  event_type: "raises"

Step 5 - Income statement

Get the revenue breakdown to understand where income comes from.

defillama:get_income_statement
  protocol: "<slug>"

Use the

metric

param to filter by specific income line items if needed.

Step 6 - User activity

Fetch daily active users and transaction counts.

defillama:get_user_activity
  protocol: "<slug>"

Step 7 - Token price (if applicable)

If the protocol has a native token, fetch current price context.

defillama:get_token_prices
  token: "<coingecko:token_id>"

Output Format

Present the report with these sections in order:

Overview - One-paragraph summary: what the protocol does, which chain(s) it operates on, its category.
Key Metrics - Table of TVL, fees, revenue, mcap, P/S, P/F, and percentage changes (7d, 30d).
Yield Opportunities - Top 3-5 pools by TVL with chain, APY, and TVL.
Revenue Breakdown - Where income comes from (supply-side vs protocol).
User Growth - Active users trend, transaction volume.
Recent Events - Hacks, raises, governance events.
Token Performance - Price, market cap, volume, ATH distance.

Tips

If
```
get_income_statement
```
returns no data, skip the Revenue Breakdown section rather than showing empty results.
Compare P/S and P/F ratios to category averages when possible.
Flag declining TVL + declining users as a bearish signal.
Flag growing TVL + growing users + growing revenue as strong fundamentals.
Use
```
start_date
```
/
```
end_date
```
for custom date ranges when analyzing specific periods.
