DeFi Protocol Survival
One row per DeFi protocol ever tracked, labeled by current status (active, website_down, deprecated, dead, rugged), with listing date, death date, lifetime in days, TVL, number of audits, whether it has a token, a GitHub, oracles, and a parent protocol. Built for survival analysis and protocol risk models.
DeFi Protocol Survival is a free dataset by Aethereal with 8,706 rows and 15 columns, updated daily at 01:15 UTC and available as CSV and Parquet at https://dataset.aethereal.top/datasets/defi-protocol-status.
