Gilad developed and integrated three features across DefiLlama’s DefiLlama-Adapters and dimension-adapters repositories, focusing on expanding Kaspa blockchain analytics. He built adapters for KaspaCom TVL and Kaspa Analytics, enabling tracking of total value locked, daily trading volume, and fee data. Using JavaScript and TypeScript, Gilad emphasized API integration and backend development, reusing existing utilities for token normalization and ensuring consistent adapter patterns. In December, he refactored data fetching for Kaspacom to use a backend API instead of GraphQL, improving data accuracy and maintainability. The work demonstrated depth in backend data pipelines and thoughtful decoupling of dependencies for reliability.
