This guide outlines how DeFi power users — operators tracking protocols, liquidity, and on-chain activity — use Peak. The emphasis is on protocol fundamentals, DEX-level data, and wallet-driven signals.

​
What Peak supports for DeFi users

Protocol analysis

Core metrics, user behavior, and competitive context for DEXs, lenders, and other protocols.

DEX-level data

Volume, liquidity, pair-level performance across decentralized venues.

Wallet flows

On-chain activity from specific wallets or smart-money cohorts.

Cross-chain context

Activity and supply across networks for multichain protocols and tokens.

​
Starting points

​
Protocol analysis

For evaluating or monitoring a protocol:
1

Protocol Analysis (PRA)

Open Protocol Analysis (PRA) ↗ for core fundamentals — TVL, volume, fee data, and structural information.
2

User Acquisition (UAC)

Examine growth, onboarding patterns, and user retention.
3

User Profile (UPO) and User Preference (UPE)

Understand who is using the protocol and what they engage with.
4

Competition (PCP)

Place the protocol in its competitive context.
For DEXs specifically, add DEX Performance (DEP) ↗ for venue-level volume, markets, and TVL, and DEX User Analysis (DUA) ↗ for trader behavior.

​
Multichain monitoring

When a token or protocol spans multiple chains, Multichain Monitor (MTM) ↗ consolidates cross-chain activity in a single view. Useful for protocols deploying on new networks or tokens with significant cross-chain supply.

​
Wallet-driven signals

DX Trader Analysis (DXT) ↗ examines DEX trader behavior, surfacing patterns in active wallet activity. Combined with CX Whale Tracker (CWT) ↗ for CEX flows, it provides a fuller picture of where capital is moving.

​
A typical workflow

A common DeFi monitoring flow:
1

Open Protocol Analysis (PRA) for the protocols you follow

Review fundamentals — TVL, volume, fees — across your watchlist.
2

Drill into DEX Performance (DEP) for active venues

Examine the pairs driving volume.
3

Cross-reference token activity

For tokens trading heavily, open Live Trades (LTD) ↗ and Market Liquidity Analysis (MLA) ↗ on the relevant Token Objects.
4

Track wallet signals

Use CX Whale Tracker (CWT) ↗ and DX Trader Analysis (DXT) ↗ to monitor flow.
