About market-analysis
A DeFi market-analysis skill that guides data queries for valuation, growth, comparisons, and historical trends. It is for analysts screening protocols, sectors, and tokens using DefiLlama metrics.
Key features
- 01Screen protocols by P/S and P/F ratios
- 02Sort protocols by growth metrics
- 03Compare protocols and categories in one query
- 04Analyze token prices and historical trends
- 05Compare metrics across entity types
Use cases
- 01Find protocols with low P/S ratios
- 02Rank protocols by 30-day TVL growth
- 03Compare fees across protocols or sectors
MCP support
The skill directs MCP tool calls to DefiLlama, including protocol, category, token, and chain metrics.

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:
7dor30d - Medium-term:
90dor180d - Long-term:
365d - Custom range:
start_date/end_date(YYYY-MM-DD) overridesperiod
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_metricscalls 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")
