## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## L2 + Chain TVL Tracker

> Track Total Value Locked (TVL) and growth across **all major L2s and L1s** — Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Linea, Scroll, zkSync, Mantle, Blast, Mode + Ethereum/Solana/BSC. Includes 1d/7d/30d % change and per-chain stablecoin market cap. No API key required.

---

### What It Does

Capital rotates between chains constantly — and the TVL delta tells you where it's flowing. This Actor:

- Pulls **every chain** tracked by DefiLlama (200+)
- Auto-categorizes **L2 vs L1** so you can filter on Ethereum scaling stack
- Returns **TVL, 1h/1d/7d/30d % change, native token symbol, GitHub org**
- Optionally adds **per-chain stablecoin market cap + 7d change** (USDC/USDT/DAI/USDe/etc. footprint per chain)
- Sortable by TVL, growth, or losses
- Telegram alerts when any chain crosses a threshold

---

### Why This Matters

- **L2 rotation is the hottest narrative in EVM scaling.** Catching Base TVL +30% / Arbitrum TVL -15% in a week is alpha.
- **Stablecoin mcap on chain = real liquidity.** When USDC supply on Base grows 20% in a week, builders see it before retail does.
- **Macro intel** — TVL ratios across L1s (Solana vs Ethereum vs BNB) are leading indicators of ecosystem narratives.

---

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `categoryFilter` | string | `all` | `all`, `L2`, `L1` |
| `minTvlUsd` | integer | `50000000` | Skip chains below this TVL |
| `sortBy` | string | `tvl_desc` | `tvl_desc`, `tvl_change_1d_desc`, `tvl_change_7d_desc`, `tvl_change_30d_desc`, `tvl_change_7d_asc`, `name_asc` |
| `limit` | integer | `50` | Max chains |
| `includeStablecoins` | boolean | `true` | Add per-chain stablecoin mcap + 7d change |
| `alertGrowth7dPct` | number | `0` | Telegram alert if |7d %| ≥ X. 0 = off |
| `telegramBotToken` | string (secret) | — | Bot token |
| `telegramChatId` | string | — | Chat ID |

#### Example: L2 momentum scanner
```json
{"categoryFilter": "L2", "sortBy": "tvl_change_7d_desc", "limit": 15}
````

#### Example: All chains by TVL

```json
{"sortBy": "tvl_desc", "limit": 50, "minTvlUsd": 100000000}
```

#### Example: Outflow alarm on Ethereum

```json
