Activity (×1.0) rewards channels covering protocol developments closely, Growth (×1.5) catches those gaining traction around new launches, and Size (×2.0) anchors the established voices.

Frequently asked

DeFi channels, explained.

What kind of content puts a channel in the DeFi sub-ranking?

Coverage of protocols, yield farming, liquidity, governance, and on-chain strategy places a channel here, as opposed to general crypto news or pure trade signals. The topical-fit check keeps the niche tight.

Are DeFi channels promoting risky protocols filtered?

Rug-pull and scam reports actively lower a channel's score, but listing is never a safety guarantee. Audit contracts and verify claims independently before depositing funds.
