How to update TVL on my token page?

CoinGecko sources coin-level TVL data from the DefiLlama protocols endpoint: https://api.llama.fi/protocols

To check if a token's TVL is eligible for display on CoinGecko, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify Your Protocol on DefiLlama

1. Find the Protocol on DefiLlama: Navigate to the DefiLlama page for the protocol you want to update.
   • Example: For Lido DAO (LDO) token, search for Lido protocol - https://defillama.com/protocol/lido.
2. Identify the Protocol "slug": The "slug" is the last part of the URL. In the Lido example, the slug is lido.

3. Check the DefiLlama API: Search for your protocol's slug within the DefiLlama protocols endpoint: https://api.llama.fi/protocols.

   

4. Confirm TVL Data: In the API response, confirm that the chainTvls attribute shows a valid, non-zero value.
5. Retrieve the Protocol "id": If the TVL data is present, retrieve the protocol's unique "id" field.
   • Example: For Lido, the id is 182.

Step 2: 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 Protocol ID: In your request, provide the protocol's id that you retrieved from the DefiLlama endpoint.
3. Await Verification: Our team will verify the data 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.

FAQ

Can borrowed TVL be included in a protocol’s total? 

No. By default, DefiLlama excludes borrowed TVL from its reported totals. If you are a protocol owner and believe your borrowing module should be included, please contact the DefiLlama team directly for clarification before submitting a request to CoinGecko.
