DESCRIPTION

Looks up any DeFi protocol's TVL and metadata from DefiLlama. Resolves a DefiLlama slug and returns canonical name, ticker symbol, category, primary chain, parent-protocol link, project URL, Twitter handle, audit count + audit links, description, logo URL, current USD TVL, per-chain TVL breakdown map, and a 24h / 7d / 30d change summary, with an optional historical TVL series. Free public API; response includes attribution. Use it as a DeFi TVL fetcher, total value locked lookup, chain-breakdown of TVL, Aave + Lido + Uniswap + MakerDAO TVL source, protocol metadata + audits reader, parent-protocol resolver, or DeFi category classifier.
