DeFi Growth Index DGI

What DGI actually is on-chain

DeFi Growth Index is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x9a1741E151233a82Cf69209A2F1bC7442B1fB29C. That address, not the ticker DGI, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself DGI, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, DGI is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in DGI itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For DGI the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @reserveprotocol. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where DGI sits in the market

DeFi Growth Index ranks #7571, in the deep tail, among assets that are tracked but rarely quoted, far outside the set of assets that carry continuous market-maker coverage. At this end of the table the first question is data integrity rather than valuation: a quote can originate from a single pool or a single venue, reported volume is difficult to verify independently, and the distance between the last print and a genuinely executable price can be wide. Treat any indicator computed on this series as provisional.

We are not currently receiving a live DGI order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted. DGI is a Ethereum asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Uniswap-style AMM pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

DGI against its all-time high

DeFi Growth Index's record high is $1.50, set on 2025-08-22. That high sits in a range where whole-cent and whole-unit levels are genuinely traded, which makes them usable as alert thresholds if a quote returns. It was set about a year ago, so it belongs to the current cycle but not to current conditions. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live DGI price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

DGI across its historical range

The recorded range is comparatively narrow: 2.90x between $0.5168 and $1.50. Either the price history is short, or the asset is designed not to move.

The record low of $0.5168 was printed on 2025-04-07 — roughly 2 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

DGI supply and valuation data

At #7571 there is no reliable third-party supply audit for DGI at all — token counts this far down the table are frequently restated, and we would rather show nothing than show a number that moves without notice. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $40 thousand as of 2026-05-12. That is in the bottom quartile of tracked assets, a range where a single liquidity provider can account for most of the quoted value.

That valuation is a point-in-time snapshot, not a live figure, so we deliberately avoid dividing it back into a token count — the price has moved since, and the arithmetic would yield a precise-looking supply number that is simply wrong. Read the current supply from the project's own explorer before relying on any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset DGI is

DeFi Growth Index trades primarily as an ecosystem asset rather than as a base-layer network of its own, which means it carries a beta to its host chain. When the host chain's native asset rallies, tokens in its ecosystem typically amplify the move in both directions, and liquidity for them is concentrated on that chain's venues.

CoinGecko files DGI under 2 categories, including Index, Ethereum Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.

How to set a DeFi Growth Index alert that is worth receiving

DeFi Growth Index is the ERC-20 at 0x9a17…B29C on Ethereum — high dated 2025-08-22 — rank #7571. On this profile the condition that carries signal is a volume-surge condition on the 1-hour or 4-hour candle paired with a wide price threshold.
