Hey there, fellow crypto enthusiasts—if you're knee-deep in the wild world of DeFi like I am, you know how crucial it is to slice and dice your data without pulling your hair out. That's why I'm buzzing about the fresh update from DefiLlama, the go-to hub for transparent DeFi metrics. Their latest tweak to the custom dashboard builder is a game-changer, especially for us at Meme Insider keeping tabs on those explosive meme token ecosystems.
What's the Big Deal with This Update?
Picture this: You're building a dashboard to monitor Total Value Locked (TVL)—that key metric showing how much crypto is staked or lent across protocols. Before, you'd have to manually pick every single chain, like Ethereum, Solana, or Base, one by one. Tedious, right? Now, with the new "Chain Categories" filter, you can group them smartly in seconds.
DefiLlama's tweet highlights exactly that: "When building custom dashboards on DefiLlama, it's now possible to easily filter to all chains from a category. Filter to groups of chains like EVM, Rollups, Superchain, or Bitcoin Sidechains with a few clicks." It's like having a magic wand for your analytics—poof, instant focus on what matters.
How It Works: A Quick Walkthrough
Don't worry if you're new to DefiLlama; it's super user-friendly. Head over to their Chart Builder and follow these steps:
- Fire Up a New Chart: Select "TVL" as your metric (or whatever DeFi stat you're eyeing, like fees or volume).
- Hit the Filters: In the sidebar, toggle to "Filter Mode" and choose "Include" or "Exclude."
- Dive into Chain Categories: Scroll to the "Chains" section, then expand "Chain Categories." Boom—options pop up: EVM (think Ethereum and its compatible kin), Rollups (Layer 2 scalers like Optimism), Superchain (OP Stack wonders), Bitcoin Sidechains, and more.
- Apply and Watch the Magic: Pick your category, and the preview updates live. Your chart now zooms in on aggregated TVL from those chains, with colorful lines dancing across Ethereum red, Solana blue, and beyond.
It's all real-time, too—no waiting around for refreshes. Whether you're plotting meme token surges on Solana (hello, Pump.fun vibes) or eyeing Bitcoin's sidechain experiments, this filter keeps things clean and insightful.
