Protocol Context

$0.01/req

POST /services/protocol-context

Looks up a protocol on DefiLlama by slug or name and returns normalized fundamentals: category, supported chains, current TVL, fees/revenue where available, and official URLs. Falls back to Exa web discovery when the slug is unknown and an Exa key is configured.

call it — the quote comes back in one round trip

curl -X POST https://api.1cent.sivaram.dev/services/protocol-context \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"protocol":"aave"}'

This returns 402 Payment Required with exact terms. Clients like @x402/fetch sign the quote and retry automatically, paying $0.01 — no other setup exists.
