Protocols
Protocols is the fourth DeFi section (/defi/protocols). It is a directory: DeFi protocols — lending, staking, bridges, oracles and more, well beyond exchanges — each with the number of contracts TraceFast knows belong to it. Where the market-wide DEX & Tokens rollup tells you how much trades on an exchange, Protocols tells you which addresses are a protocol's own.
:::tip Sign-in required (free account) Like all of DeFi, Protocols is for signed-in users. Signed out, the page asks you to sign in or create an account; see Account & Security for how sign-in works. :::
How to read it
- The list ranks protocols by how many of their contracts TraceFast knows, under the column Addresses.
- A protocol page (
/defi/protocols/<slug>) lists those contracts by name — for Lido, its staking router, oracles, withdrawal queue, the stETH and wstETH tokens and the rest. Each name opens the contract's entity page. Long lists page with Newer / Older.
Use it to check whether an address you met in a trace is a protocol's own contract, or to see a protocol's full on-chain footprint before you dig into one of its contracts.
Not the same as a DEX protocol dashboard
Two views carry the word protocol, and they answer different questions:
| Protocols section | DEX protocol dashboard | |
|---|---|---|
| URL | /defi/protocols, /defi/protocols/<slug> | /defi/dex/protocols/<protocol> |
| Scope | The contracts that belong to a protocol, beyond exchanges | Trading activity for one exchange |
| Reached from | The DeFi hub strip | Protocol Market Share on the Market tab |
If you need Uniswap's or Curve's volume, swaps and pool counts, use the DEX protocol dashboard.
