DeFiprime is a media outlet covering decentralized finance since 2019. We publish practitioner research and curate a list of DeFi products worth paying attention to. We write for people who build, allocate capital, or regulate in this space.
- Practitioner research — risk premiums, yield decomposition, protocol mechanics. If the APY doesn't justify the downside, we show the arithmetic.
- Regulatory reporting — SEC releases, MiCA, enforcement actions, read against the primary source rather than a press release.
- Infrastructure deep-dives — stablecoin issuers, perps venues, prediction markets, credit markets, settlement layers.
- Incident coverage — exploits, governance blow-ups, peg events. What actually happened, and who bore the loss.
Full editorial positioning is on the about page.

We run a curated list. We aren't trying to catalogue every project — we surface the ones worth paying attention to. Criteria we actually apply:
- Live on mainnet with real usage. Not a testnet, not a pitch deck.
- Open to users regardless of jurisdiction, or at minimum honest about its geofencing. "Region is not supported" is not a feature.
- Chain-agnostic. We don't play tribal.
- No pay-to-list. This has always been the rule.
Submit a project via the listing form.
Hosting a DeFi conference, research event, or hackathon? Use the event listing form and we'll add it to the events calendar.
The only ad format we run is native articles — interviews, use cases, technical explainers. No display ads, no sponsored listings. Listing a project and advertising are separate processes, and listings are free. Use the advertising form.
hugo serverServes the site with live reload. Build to public/ with:
hugo --minifyNetlify handles production deploys (see netlify.toml).
assets/scss/ is not wired into the Hugo pipeline: the pages link the checked-in static/assets/css/main.css. After editing the SCSS, regenerate it with:
sass --style=compressed --no-source-map assets/scss/main.scss static/assets/css/main.cssThe checked-in file came out of Jekyll's libsass, so the first run rewrites it in dart-sass formatting (the same rules, different whitespace and selector order).
bash tests/run-tests.shRuns the parity gate against the golden Jekyll build. Override the golden build's path with the JEKYLL_GOLDEN environment variable.
cd tests && python3 -m unittest discover -p 'test_*.py'Runs the unit suite.
Until cutover, content is authored in the Jekyll checkout and pulled into this repo:
python3 scripts/sync-content.py --source ../defiprimepython3 scripts/algolia-index.py --dry-runPreview what would be pushed to Algolia. Drop --dry-run to push for real; the script reads the admin key from _algolia_api_key.
See CONTRIBUTING.md. For corrections or small edits, a PR against master works fine. For listing changes or new posts, use the forms above.
