Defi Essential Tools List
CoinGecko
You can sort various cryptos by market cap and view them all at once. I think I use either coinmarketcap or this one.
Links to official websites, contracts, SNS, etc. are collected.
You can check which CEXs, DEXs, etc. you can trade on and the trading volume.
Coinglass
Check interest rates with coinglass
A site that compiles information on futures.
You can check the cumulative funding rate and easily view information on futures trading such as changes in OI.
You can also see things like liquidation and quarterly futures deviations.
Also has things like indexes other than BTC.
Trading view
It can plot a variety of assets on charts, not just crypto.
You can also display BTC/ETH as (BTC/USD) / (ETH/USD) like an Excel function.
You can also do simple backtesting.
DefiLlama
You can sort various cryptos by TVL and view them all at once.
Links to official websites, contracts, SNS, etc. are collected.
You can compare data by chain or category.
There are plenty of things to do, such as yield comparisons and token swap aggregators.
Everything is here. This is the place to start.
DeBank
You can check the contents of debank transactions at a glance.
Excellent for tracking assets in EVM wallets. It can supplement a large percentage of what you have deposited in Defi. I forget exceptions that are not included here, so I just make a note of them.
It clearly labels and tells you what transactions you and other people have performed. For example, I swapped 100 USD for 0.1 ETH on Uniswap.
You can create a watchlist to track other people's wallets, or display the assets and positions of your wallets as a comprehensive portfolio.
You can see the TVL for each protocol and who has deposited how much in the pools inside.
It also functions as a social networking site, and everyone uses it, so if you send a message, you will get a lot of replies. You will also receive advertising ads, and if you open them, you will get $1.
If you pay about $10 a month, you can hide spam transactions, see your wallet's past balance, and use convenient analytics. If you pay for the API, you can use labeled data, which is very useful if you use EVM DeFi.
I think you can make a lot of money just by watching people who seem strong in debanking.
Etherscan
Ethereum Explorer. Allows you to check transaction details for each wallet and contract.
You can check details such as which contract was accessed, what input was given, and what fund transfers and state changes occurred.
You can also check the top token holders and total supply.
Contract code is often made public, so you can check the contents.
You can decode and view input data.
You can read and write contracts, and can communicate directly when the application's UI cannot be used.
Arkham
An explorer with good address labeling.
Addresses can be linked to exchanges, Defi protocols, SNS accounts, etc.
Can be used to track the flow of funds while labeling them individually. Convenient for filtering by transfer amount and visualizing the flow of funds between addresses.
Combined with Debank, this will generally solve address stalking issues.
Token Terminal
You can check the market cap and FDV of tokens, and compare trading volume and fee income.
You can check various data by blockchain and field. It's like Defilamma specialized for data comparison.
dexscreener
You can track trading history and price changes on various DEXs.
When trading tokens with low market caps, it's a good idea to first check the liquidity, such as trading volume and token contract details.
There is also a check box to check whether the token is a scam token. Be careful of fakes.
There are similar apps out there, and dexscreener may not have many features that are unique to it.
Dune
It can decode blockchain data and display it as a table or graph.
There are many beautiful and useful dashboards created by others.
Major DeFi companies have a lot of decoded data, and you can display undecoded data by naming it yourself.
You prepare a dataset using SQL and turn it into a graph or table, but even if you don't know SQL, you can often just process existing data, or you can modify SQL with something like Dune AI.
Dune processes a huge amount of past blockchain data on the server side, and it is convenient because there is a lot of labeled data.
Paid features such as CSV downloads are a bit expensive at several hundred dollars per month.
parsec
It visualizes data on the blockchain in an easy-to-understand way.
It's basically the same as Dune, but it seems more flexible. I think you can create more beautiful dashboards intuitively.
The UI is more convenient than Dune.
It's been gaining momentum recently, so I'd like to use it too.
tenderly
It has a lot of features for developers, but also has some useful features for users.
It can send alerts. Alerts can be sent via email or discord based on transaction issuance, events, and their values.
The above alerts can also be used to execute code. Detection is slower than building a node, but faster than via RPC.
It can run transaction simulations. The blocks do not need to be the latest, so it can do more than Rabby's predictions, etc. It is useful for testing as it does not require various things to be prepared locally.
It can show how transactions are being processed in more detail than Etherscan, etc.
