Historical total-value-locked (TVL) time series for a DeFi protocol by slug (e.g. aave, lido, uniswap), via DefiLlama (free/keyless). Returns daily { date, tvlUsd } points (most recent N, default 90) plus the protocol's chains. For charting a protocol's growth or decline over time. Net-new vs crypto.defi (current TVL only).
/api/crypto/defi-protocol-historyPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The defi protocol history API is a pay-per-call crypto endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. Historical total-value-locked (TVL) time series for a DeFi protocol by slug (e.g.
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in defi protocol history data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs crypto data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
