DefiLlama counts how much money sits in protocols. What we need is not “yield”, it is the card header: Website and Twitter. A link directory that is harder to fake than the first search result.
How to pull the link in a minute
- Open defillama.com from a bookmark (no trap hyphens in the domain).
- Search the name: Uniswap, Jupiter, STON.fi, Aave.
- Open the protocol. Header has Website and Twitter. Copy. Check the letters.
- Bookmark the site from the card. Use that for the swap, not what arrived in a chat.

What DefiLlama does not promise
TVL can be inflated. The list includes wrappers and dead pools. “It's on Llama” ≠ “safe to park a salary”. It is a pointer to an official URL, not an audit and not advice.
A new memecoin with no card — there is no official site in this directory. Then either there is nothing to open, or you are already in the zone where you check a contract by hand, not a ticker in a feed.
The chain
The X from the Llama card has to match how we check Twitter. The site from the card — the address bar before Connect. If the three sources disagree, sign nothing.
