Like many other data aggregator platforms, DefiLlama does not present you with subjective opinions based on its objective data, DefiLlama presents and aggregates objective data from multiple blockchains for your use based on your own interpretations.
All the previously mentioned tools can be utilized in their own way, whether it be by utilizing the ETH Liquid Staking tab to find the best staking pool, using the Raises tab to track what venture firms are investing in whether it be the type of technology or how much money, or using the Borrow Aggregator to find the best loan.
While using DefiLlama does not guarantee you any returns, it does guarantee that you will have free access to data that could potentially make you returns through your own interpretations. Aggregators are just one piece of the pie in terms of profitable tools to use, but aggregators such as DefiLlama can immediately give you interpretable data, for free, which is a good first piece of the pie to get.
