What it returns

One protocol's current snapshot: identity fields and its own per-chain TVL breakdown, by chain NAME. currentChainTvls is published exactly as the source returns it, including any protocol that carries more than one key for what looks like the same chain (e.g. a -staking variant of the same chain name) — never summed into one invented total, since summing would silently conflate categories the source itself keeps apart. A well-formed slug this source has no protocol for returns 404, never a body of nulls.

Chains

This endpoint is not tied to a chain: it takes no chain in its request.

Request

Send your key in the x-dex-data-key header. Replace each <placeholder> with a real value.

curl -H "x-dex-data-key: $DEXDATA_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.dexdata.io/api/external/protocol-analysis/protocol/<slug>"

Parameters
Parameter	Description
`slug` path · string · required	A DeFi protocol's slug, e.g. "pancakeswap-amm" — not a token mint or contract address, and not scoped to any single chain.

Response fields

A JSON response. Every field is always present; null means the value could not be established, never zero.

Response fields of One DeFi protocol's identity and per-chain TVL
Field	Type	Description
`name`	string \| null
`symbol`	string \| null
`address`	string \| null
`url`	string \| null
`description`	string \| null
`category`	string \| null
`chains`	string[] \| null	Every chain this protocol is deployed on, by display name; null when the source gave no chain list.
`currentChainTvls`	object \| null	Current TVL per chain NAME, exactly as the source publishes it. Two keys can name the same chain (e.g. a `-staking` variant) — never summed into one total. Null when the source has none for this protocol.
