Question 1

What is DeFi Intel?

Accepted Answer

DeFi Intel is an entity-level intelligence platform for the digital-asset industry. It combines a structured knowledge graph (11,787 companies, protocols, stablecoins and tokenized assets, linked through 26,104 typed relations to 3,354 dated events and 1,800 news items) with an editorial layer of 237 long-form research entries totalling 721,861 words across 12 scopes (entity deep-dives, paper reviews, incident post-mortems, jurisdiction guides, chain deep-dives, hub deep-dives, topic deep-dives, license framework guides, token deep-dives, people profiles, flagship reports, and long-form articles).

Question 2

How is DeFi Intel different from DefiLlama, Messari, Token Terminal, or Nansen?

Accepted Answer

DeFi Intel is the only platform that links news, regulation, academic papers, market incidents and entity profiles through a single typed knowledge graph. DefiLlama leads on TVL data; Messari leads on enterprise reports; Token Terminal leads on financial KPIs; Nansen leads on on-chain wallet labelling. DeFi Intel sits at the intersection: wider editorial coverage than DefiLlama, more entity-graph structure than Messari, more regulation and incident depth than Token Terminal, and more public-source breadth than Nansen.

Question 3

How is DeFi Intel data sourced and verified?

Accepted Answer

Every entity in the knowledge graph is corroborated by at least one independent research-agent trace, and every claim links back to a primary source URL (filings, GitHub commits, on-chain transactions, official announcements). The data layer covers 184 research domains and is regenerated continuously. The methodology page documents source-confidence scoring, last-reviewed timestamps, and editorial review criteria.

Question 4

What is included in the free tier?

Accepted Answer

The free tier includes the live news feed, basic entity pages, the stablecoin tracker, the education layer, and the weekly newsletter, with 30 days of historical news access. The graph viewer, full historical news, watchlists, alerts, CSV export, premium reports, and API access are gated to paid tiers.

Question 5

What does Pro cost and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Pro costs $49/month or $470/year (≈20% annual discount). It is designed for analyst desks, BD/partnership teams, and institutional researchers — anyone who needs the full entity graph, monthly entity intelligence, 250 watchlists, API access (10,000 requests/month), and a 30% discount on premium reports. The Starter tier ($19/month or $182/year) is for independent analysts who need full news history plus 25 watchlists. Enterprise pricing covers team seats, SSO, audit logs, bulk exports and a dedicated CSM.

Question 6

Are the long-form research entries written by humans or AI?

Accepted Answer

Long-form deep-dives are written in an analyst register modeled on sell-side equity research: mechanism-grounded, citing specific named regulators, statutes, transactions and dates. Editorial review and source verification are handled by the DeFi Intel research team. The full methodology page documents the editorial standard, source-confidence scoring, and corrections policy.

Question 7

Can I cite DeFi Intel in research, journalism, or AI-generated answers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cite the canonical entry URL (e.g. defi-intel.com/?page=companies&slug=eigenlayer) and reference the entry's last-reviewed date when discussing time-sensitive metrics. Attribution as 'DeFi Intel' or 'DeFi Intel Research' is preferred. AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended) are explicitly allowed.
