Protocol Revenue Leaderboard

What does Protocol Revenue Leaderboard do?

Protocol Revenue Leaderboard fetches real-time DeFi protocol fee and revenue data from DeFiLlama and ranks every protocol by earnings across multiple timeframes — 24h, 7d, 30d, and 1y. It enriches each entry with momentum scores, revenue trend classification, consistency ratings, and annualised run-rate tiers so you can instantly identify which protocols are growing, declining, or generating the most sustainable on-chain revenue. Run it on a schedule with the Apify platform to power dashboards, alerts, and investment research pipelines without managing any infrastructure.

Why use Protocol Revenue Leaderboard?

• Up-to-date DeFi revenue rankings — pulls directly from DeFiLlama's fees endpoint, covering hundreds of protocols across DEXes, lending markets, derivatives, and more; no manual data collection needed.
• Multi-timeframe momentum analysis — computes a weighted momentum score (50% 1d, 30% 7d, 20% 1m) alongside a revenue acceleration metric so you can spot protocols gaining or losing traction before the broader market reacts.
• Revenue consistency scoring — calculates a 0–100 consistency score from daily chart data so you can distinguish genuine sustainable earners from one-day fee spikes.
• Category-level benchmarking — assigns category ranks (e.g. rank 2 among all Lending protocols) alongside global rank, letting you compare apples to apples across protocol types.
• Structured, API-ready output — every record follows a clean JSON schema that drops straight into Google Sheets, BigQuery, Databricks, or any BI tool via Apify's dataset export API.

How to use Protocol Revenue Leaderboard

1. Go to the Apify Store and search for Protocol Revenue Leaderboard.
2. Click Try for free to open the Actor input form.
3. Set Top N (default 50) to control how many protocols you want returned.
4. Optionally enter a Minimum 24h Revenue threshold in USD to filter out dust-level protocols.
5. Use the Categories field to narrow results to specific protocol types such as Dexes, Lending, or Derivatives. Leave empty to fetch all.
6. Choose a Sort By field: total24h, total7d, total30d, total1y, change_1d, or change_7d.
7. Click Start and wait a few seconds for the run to complete.
8. Download your dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab, or integrate via the Apify API.

Cost estimation

Pricing is Pay-Per-Event at $0.001 per protocol tracked.

Scenario	Protocols	Estimated cost
Small — top 10 protocols	10	$0.01
Medium — top 50 protocols (default)	50	$0.05
Large — top 200 protocols	200	$0.20

Running once daily for a full month costs under $1.50 even at maximum scale. The DeFiLlama API is free and public, so there are no upstream data costs.

FAQ

Q: Where does the data come from? A: All revenue data is sourced from the DeFiLlama fees API, which aggregates on-chain fee data from protocol subgraphs and smart contract events. DeFiLlama data is widely regarded as the most comprehensive public DeFi analytics source.

Q: How often should I run this Actor? A: DeFiLlama updates its fees data every few hours. Running the Actor once or twice per day is sufficient for most research and monitoring use cases. Use Apify's built-in scheduler to automate runs without writing any code.

Q: Can I filter to just one blockchain ecosystem? A: The current version filters by protocol category (e.g. Dexes, Lending). Chain-level filtering can be applied post-collection by filtering the chains array field. Category filtering combined with the sort options covers the vast majority of analytical workflows.

This Actor retrieves publicly available data from DeFiLlama's open API. It does not access private or user-specific DeFi data. Protocol revenue figures represent fees paid by users and may differ from protocol treasury revenue depending on fee-sharing configurations. Always validate data against primary sources before making investment decisions.
