How to update TVL on my Chain page on CoinGecko?

CoinGecko sources chain-level TVL data directly from DefiLlama. To request for TVL update on your Chain, you must first verify your chain's availability on Defillama and then submit the request using the correct identifier.

Step 1: Verify Availability on DefiLlama

1. Locate the CoinGecko API ID: Find the CoinGecko API ID for your gas token. For example, Binance Smart Chain API ID is binancecoin.
   
2. Check DefiLlama's Endpoint: Search for your Chain using CoinGecko API ID (gecko_id) within the DefiLlama chains endpoint: https://api.llama.fi/v2/chains.
   
3. Confirm Availability: If you find a matching gecko_id (e.g., "gecko_id": "binancecoin"), your chain's TVL is tracked by DefiLlama and is eligible for a CoinGecko update.

Step 2: Retrieve the Required Identifier

1. Find the "name" attribute: In the same DefiLlama entry, retrieve the value from the "name" field. This is the official identifier needed for your request (e.g., "name": "BSC").

Step 3: Submit Your Request

1. Submit a Request: Go to the CoinGecko support page and click the "Submit a request" button in the top-right corner.

   

2. Provide the Identifier: In your request, provide the "name" attribute you retrieved from DefiLlama.
3. Await Verification: The CoinGecko team will verify the information and apply the TVL update accordingly.

Important Notes

• DefiLlama is the Source: TVL data must be available on DefiLlama's public endpoints to be eligible for inclusion on CoinGecko.
• Contact DefiLlama First: If your protocol is not listed on DefiLlama, you must contact their team to request integration before submitting a request to CoinGecko.
