Protocols Built Atop

Counts the number of protocols that integrate with or build on this project.

Methodology

What We Look For

Other protocols building on or integrating with your project indicates infrastructure value and ecosystem adoption.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Number of protocols integrating with your contracts
• Number of protocols forking/building on your code
• Active protocols (TVL > $10k or transactions within 30 days)
• Legitimate projects (not test or abandoned)

Data Sources:

• DeFiLlama (check "Forks" or "Protocols using" section)
• Protocol documentation (integrations page)
• Block explorers (contracts calling your contracts)
• DappRadar

Significance

High protocol integration indicates:

• Infrastructure/platform value
• Developer trust
• Network effects
• Ecosystem position

Guide

Finding Information

Step 1: Check DeFiLlama

Visit your protocol page on DeFiLlama:

• Look for "Forks" section
• Check "Protocols using [your protocol]"
• Note protocols listed

Step 2: Review Your Documentation

Check your own integration docs:

• Listed integrations
• Known projects using your protocol
• Partnership announcements

Step 3: Check Contract Interactions

On block explorer:

• Find contracts that call your contracts
• Identify protocols integrating
• Verify they're active

Step 4: Verify Activity

For each protocol found:

• Check TVL (>$10k minimum)
• Verify recent transactions (within 30 days)
• Confirm legitimate project (not test/abandoned)

Submitting Evidence

When submitting protocols built atop:

1. Protocol Count: Number of active integrating protocols

2. Protocol List: Names of key protocols

3. Evidence: Links showing integration:

   • DeFiLlama page
   • Integration documentation
   • Contract interaction data
   • Partnership announcements

4. Verification: How to verify each integration
