The DeFiLlama Wallet is an emerging non‑custodial wallet solution developed by the team behind DeFiLlama, the popular DeFi analytics platform. Rather than being just a wallet, it serves as a unified interface for tracking multi‑chain assets, performing swaps, connecting with dApps, and integrating powerful analytics directly into your portfolio experience. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
As of 2025, the Wallet is positioned to bring together analytics and hands‑on functionality in one tool — merging data access and on‑chain interaction in a seamless, user‑friendly way. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

- Use hardware wallets (e.g. Ledger) in combination with the wallet when supported.
- Never share your seed phrase or private keys; only import in trusted dev environments.
- Limit approvals (avoid infinite allowances) when giving permission to smart contracts.
- Check each transaction’s gas, routing path, and contract address before signing.
- Keep software up to date to patch vulnerabilities.
Advanced Features

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- 1. Does DeFiLlama Wallet support perps or lending natively?
- Not inherently — DeFiLlama Wallet is primarily a portfolio, swap, and analytics tool. It can interface with protocols that offer lending or derivatives, but it doesn’t issue them itself. :contentReference[oaicite:22]{index=22}
- 2. Is DeFiLlama Wallet custodial?
- No. It is non‑custodial — you maintain control of your private keys and assets; the wallet itself never holds your funds. :contentReference[oaicite:23]{index=23}
- 3. What blockchains are supported?
- It supports multiple EVM chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB, Polygon, etc.) and may add further chains over time. :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}
- 4. Can I import my MetaMask or existing wallet?
- Yes — you can import by seed phrase or connect via WalletConnect or MetaMask to bring your existing assets into view. :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25}
- 5. Is there risk of phishing or clones?
- Yes — users have reported phishing sites impersonating DeFiLlama. One user claimed a fake site drained their ETH after signing transactions. Always double-check domain, use hardware wallets, and avoid connecting to unknown links. :contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26}
Conclusion
DeFiLlama Wallet is an ambitious and promising tool that blends analytics and on‑chain functions into a unified experience. While it doesn’t natively offer spot, perps, or lending units itself, it can interface with those protocols and bring all your DeFi positions under one roof. Its deep integration with DeFiLlama’s data, cross-chain visibility, and non‑custodial design make it appealing for both casual users and DeFi power users. Just be cautious with security, always use official sources, and stay alert for phishing risks. As development continues, the wallet could become a central utility in the DeFi toolkit.
