What is DefiLlama Prediction Markets?

Use the sector table to spot differences between prediction-market protocols, then open the protocol profile to understand the figures. Polymarket’s page shows historical measures including volume, fees, revenue and deposited or locked capital. A combined protocol profile can cover several products, so select the individual product when comparing a narrower scope.

Choose a consistent metric and period and read the methodology or linked adapter code before quoting a result. TVL, open interest, fees and trading volume describe different quantities; missing coverage is not proof of no activity. Core dashboards and supported public endpoints are free, while paid research tools and premium API access are separate offers. These protocol-level figures do not establish a wallet’s returns or suitability for copying.

Who it is for

  • Researchers comparing activity across prediction venues.
  • Developers checking metric definitions before building a report.

Features and coverage

  • Sector comparison

    Compare prediction-market protocols in the same table and time window.

  • Polymarket history

    Inspect protocol-level series and distinguish a combined profile from the products it tracks.

  • Metric methodology

    Read calculation notes and follow adapter code when providers report different figures.

  • Different activity measures

    Review volume, fees, revenue and locked capital without treating them as interchangeable.

  • Data access paths

    Use public endpoints for supported data or assess the separate premium API for additional coverage.

Our take on DefiLlama Prediction Markets

Free core dashboards and methodology links make this a strong starting point for cross-venue research. Product scope and metric definitions help explain discrepancies. Paid research and premium API access need separate evaluation; the rating does not assess trading performance.

Frequently asked questions about DefiLlama Prediction Markets

Is the prediction-market dashboard free?

Core dashboards are in the free tier. Custom dashboards, CSV downloads and enhanced research have separate paid-plan requirements.

Is $40.83 a monthly subscription billed each month?

The retrieved offer pairs $40.83/month with $490/year as an annual-billing equivalent. Inspect the billing selector for a monthly-billing offer.

Does Pro include the premium API?

No. Pro research and premium API access are separate. Free public endpoints remain another access route.

Why can Polymarket charts disagree?

A combined protocol page may include several products. Time windows and definitions of volume, open interest or TVL can also differ.

Can these figures evaluate a trader?

They describe protocols and the sector, not an individual wallet’s returns or suitability for copying.
