Overview

DeFi TVL leaderboard across all chains (via DefiLlama, free/keyless): every chain ranked by total value locked, with its native token symbol and chain id. Distinct from crypto.defi (which returns one chain's TVL by name) — this is the full ranked cross-chain comparison.

Endpoint

How to call it

Requests are paid per call over the x402 protocol. Call the endpoint, receive a 402 Payment Required quote, then repeat the request with the signed payment header. The SDKs do both steps for you.

# 1. Ask for a quote
curl -i https://jarvisclaw.ai/v1/marketplace/api/crypto-defi-chains

# 2. Pay it (the SDK signs and retries for you)
curl -H "X-PAYMENT: <signed-payload>" https://jarvisclaw.ai/v1/marketplace/api/crypto-defi-chains
