DefiLlama is the default free data layer for DeFi discovery. It is strong when a developer needs broad protocol lists, TVL, yield, fee, and price data, and its API product is documented publicly. Its published API plan is designed for higher limits and expanded datasets, not institutional vault-risk decisions.

Alterscope starts where aggregation stops. It carries vault risk decomposition, oracle classification, peg history, curator activity, exit simulation, and an agentic freshness envelope in the response. DefiLlama tells you what yields exist. Alterscope tells you whether a vault, oracle, curator, or peg condition can survive the risk policy you are about to apply.
