DeFi Llama
Track TVL, volume, and revenue for any DeFi protocol or chain, live on your iPhone home screen.
Protocol Metrics on Your Home Screen
DeFi Llama indexes thousands of DeFi protocols and refreshes TVL, volume, and revenue data every hour. The PulseKit integration surfaces those numbers as live iOS widgets. You can track TVL share (a protocol's slice of its category's locked value), volume share (its portion of trading activity), and revenue share, all updating hourly without opening a browser tab.
Chain-Level TVL Tracking
The Chains module lets you monitor total value locked and TVL share for any supported blockchain. Hourly updates and trend charts show whether a chain is gaining or losing ground relative to the broader ecosystem. That context matters when you are evaluating where liquidity is concentrating or comparing how Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, and others are performing against each other over the past week.
No Account Required
DeFi Llama's data is publicly available, and PulseKit accesses it directly. There is no DeFi Llama account to create, no API key to generate, and no subscription required on the data-source side. When configuring the Protocols module you can optionally narrow metrics to a specific chain, so if you only care about Uniswap on Arbitrum rather than its aggregate figures across all chains, you can pin exactly that view.

Who uses this
- DeFi investors
TVL trend and TVL share show whether capital is flowing into or quietly leaving a protocol. Checking both on your home screen means you catch early signals before they show up in price action, without monitoring a dashboard throughout the day.
- Yield farmers
Volume and revenue metrics reveal whether a protocol is still generating real activity. If TVL is flat but volume share is sliding, yields are likely to compress before long. Having those metrics on your Lock Screen removes the friction of checking each protocol manually across multiple tabs.
- Chain researchers
TVL share across chains shifts gradually but often precedes broader narrative moves in the market. Tracking multiple chains side by side on your home screen makes it easier to spot which chain is consistently gaining share and when that trend becomes statistically meaningful.
- Protocol founders
Watching your own protocol's TVL, volume share, and revenue share in real time helps you correlate product changes with on-chain behavior. A shift in TVL share right after a deployment or parameter update is easier to catch when the metric is always visible without logging into anything.
FAQs
What DeFi metrics can I track with PulseKit and DeFi Llama?
The Protocols module covers TVL, TVL share, volume, volume share, revenue, revenue share, and market share for individual protocols. The Chains module covers TVL and TVL share for blockchains. All metrics are collected every hour and most include a historical trend chart.
How often does PulseKit update DeFi Llama data?
All protocol and chain metrics are collected every hour. PulseKit stores up to 7 days of history, so your widgets always show a current figure alongside a recent trend without requiring you to open the app or refresh anything manually.
Do I need a DeFi Llama account to use this integration?
No account is required. DeFi Llama's protocol and chain data is publicly available, and PulseKit accesses it directly. There is no API key to generate and no credentials to manage at any point during setup.
Can I track a protocol on one specific chain instead of its aggregate?
Yes. The Protocols module lets you select a protocol and optionally filter to a single chain. This means you can track Aave on Ethereum separately from Aave's combined figures across all supported chains, and pin both as separate widgets if you want.
Which DeFi Llama metrics include historical charts?
TVL, TVL share, volume, volume share, and revenue all include chart views showing up to 7 days of history. Revenue share and market share are available as current point-in-time values without a chart. Chain TVL and chain TVL share both include charts.
Can I add multiple DeFi protocol or chain widgets to my home screen?
Yes. Each widget is configured independently, so you can pin Uniswap TVL, Aave revenue, and Arbitrum chain TVL on the same home screen. Each widget polls its own metrics on the hourly schedule, and they update independently of one another.
What is TVL share and why does it matter?
TVL share measures a protocol's total value locked as a percentage of its category's combined total. A protocol can show growing absolute TVL while losing TVL share, which means competitors are growing faster. Tracking share alongside absolute TVL gives a clearer view of relative momentum within a category.
