Tron DeFi TVL data via x402 micropayment — pay per query with USDC or USDT
What it does
This endpoint provides DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) data for protocols on the Tron blockchain. It accepts a POST request with a JSON body specifying a DeFi protocol name (e.g. "aave") and a Tron address (T-prefix base58), and returns TVL information in a JSON response. The endpoint is operated by Erudite Intelligence LLC and described as "Crypto data intelligence."
Payment is handled via the x402 protocol (version 2). The endpoint accepts two payment options: USDC on Base (eip155:8453) at $0.01 per call, or USDT on Tron (tron:728126428) at $0.01 per call. Payments are facilitated through the EruditePay Bridge, which supports 20 blockchains and settles payments on-chain. The USDC option uses the Coinbase CDP facilitator, while the Tron USDT option is handled directly by EruditePay.
Documentation beyond the x402 challenge and Bazaar schema extension is sparse. The example output schema shows `{"success": true, "data": {}}` but does not detail the structure of the `data` object. No OpenAPI spec or dedicated docs page was found for this specific data endpoint (the provider's /docs path returns a 404). Users should expect a JSON object with TVL-related fields, but the exact shape is not documented.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) with a Bazaar schema extension providing input/output structure. However, the output example is essentially empty ({"data": {}}), there is no OpenAPI spec, no dedicated documentation page, and the response data shape is undocumented. Pricing is clear at $0.01/call.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI specification available for this endpoint
- —Output schema example shows empty data object — actual response structure is unknown
- —Provider docs page (/docs) returns 404; no external documentation found
- —Response data fields must be discovered empirically
