# DeFi Intelligence (Investor Intel)

> This is the Investor Intel DeFi research surface. For the content-side On-Chain view of the same name, see [DeFi Intelligence](/thecontentforge-docs/web3-intelligence/defi-intelligence.md).

DeFi Intelligence is a research surface for yield. It tracks vaults and lending markets across nine chains, breaks down where an APY actually comes from, and flags when the same asset earns meaningfully different yields in different places.

### Coverage

Yields are tracked across nine chains: **Solana, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Sui, and Sei**.

### Views

* **Vault explorer** - browse yield vaults with current APY, TVL, and the assets involved
* **Lending markets** - browse lending and borrowing markets with supply and borrow rates, TVL, and utilization

### APY breakdowns

A headline APY hides a lot. DeFi Intelligence breaks each yield into its components, so you can see what part is base yield, what part is incentives, and how stable the number has been. An APY propped up by temporary incentives is a different proposition from organic yield, and the breakdown makes that visible.

### TVL and utilization

Each vault and market shows total value locked and utilization, the context that tells you how large and how stretched a venue is. High utilization in a lending market, for example, can mean better rates and harder exits at the same time.

### Yield arbitrage spread detection

On Solana, DeFi Intelligence surfaces spreads where a vault's APY on an asset differs meaningfully from the lending supply APY for that same asset. This is not cross-chain and not cross-venue detection. Spreads are research context: they often persist for structural reasons (risk differences, lockups, strategy exposure), so treat a spread as a question to investigate, not free money.

### Deep-dive analysis

Paste any vault or market address to get a full AI analysis: what it is, how the yield is generated, what the risks look like, and what to verify before going further. Deep dives count against your daily AI allowance, which depends on your plan. See [Pricing](/thecontentforge-docs/reference/pricing.md).

### How to use it

1. Browse the vault explorer or lending view for your chains
2. Open the APY breakdown on anything that looks attractive: find out what is actually paying that yield
3. Check TVL and utilization for scale and stress context
4. Run a deep dive on any venue before committing real attention to it

### A note on risk

Yield always comes from somewhere, and higher yield generally means higher risk: smart-contract risk, depeg risk, liquidity risk, incentive cliffs. DeFi Intelligence explains and contextualizes yields; it does not vet venues for safety, and listing here is not an endorsement. Nothing on this page is a recommendation to deposit anywhere.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://thecontentforge.gitbook.io/thecontentforge-docs/investor-intel/defi-intelligence.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
