Showing what a position has earned and whether it is in range is this list, for every protocol and chain. The API returns all of it. 1. 01 Find your positions Every LP NFT and loan your wallets hold, across chains. One call per protocol. 2. 02 Read the pool Current price, tick and range status, so you know at a glance whether a position is earning. 3. 03 Uncollected fees Calculated for both tokens. This is the step most first versions get quietly wrong, and you can skip it. 4. 04 History Every deposit, withdrawal and collection, without crawling logs or paying for an archive node. 5. 05 Prices at each event What each token was worth when you deposited and collected, which is what real PnL needs. 6. 06 The maths PnL against holding, impermanent loss and APR, with a documented method you can check. 7. 07 Upkeep Protocol upgrades and provider changes are handled on our side, so your app keeps working. 03 / What it opens up ## Six things you can do with better data Your tracker stays yours. These are the things that get easier with the numbers already done. ### Keep building what makes it yours Your views, your strategy and your automations are the interesting part. Hand the data layer to us and spend your time there. ### Check your numbers against ours Run the same wallet through your code and our API. Where they match, you have validated your work. Where they differ, you have found an edge case early. ### Add protocols without a rewrite Aerodrome, Orca and lending positions come back in the same shape as Uniswap V3, so a new protocol is a parameter, not a project. ### Real history without a node bill Every event and a daily snapshot, with prices at the time, without an archive node or a monthly provider plan. ### Alerts you can build on Use our out-of-range and liquidation alerts as they are, or call the API and trigger your own. ### Your assistant gets better data Point Claude or Cursor at DeFi Orbit AI and it reads your positions directly, so it writes your app instead of your RPC code. 04 / What stays yours ## What we leave to you DeFi Orbit is the data layer, not your app. These stay with you and your RPC. ### Your interface and strategy How you see your positions and what you do about them is your product. We do not replace it. ### Balances and raw chain data Wallet balances, swaps in a pool and raw traces stay with your RPC, which does that well. ### Protocols we do not cover yet Keep your own code for them, and tell us which ones you use. We add protocols as users ask. ### A quick experiment If it runs once, build it however you like. The API is there when you want it to run every day. 05 / FAQ ## Questions builders ask I already built a tracker. Where does DeFi Orbit fit? Underneath it. Keep your app, your layout and your logic, and replace the part that reads and calculates positions with one API call. Everything you built stays yours. Can I use both my RPC and your API? Yes, and most people do. Your RPC handles balances and anything below the position; the API handles positions, fees, PnL and history. How do I check that your numbers are right? Run a wallet you know through both and compare position by position. The methods for PnL, impermanent loss, fees and APR are documented, so any gap has a cause you can see. Do I have to use the API, or is there an app? Both. Portfolio is the app, with nothing to build. The API is for when you want the same data inside your own project. Many people use Portfolio to check their own build. What does it cost for a personal project? Credit packs start at 500 credits for $10. Each call costs 1 to 30 credits, and failed requests are refunded, so a personal app tracking a few wallets uses very little. Can my AI assistant use this? Yes. DeFi Orbit AI connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor on the same key, so your assistant can read your positions directly while it builds your app. [See all comparisons](/compare) Rate limits and terms of public RPC endpoints change often and differ by chain.
