Subreddit rules check
r/defi
Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Disclose any affiliation (e.g., “I work at …”); community tolerates product announcements when transparent — ask mods if unsure.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, data, discussion
Headline: short, specific, include token/protocol or clear question (e.g., “How are people earning interest on USDC?”). Use first‑person for experience threads and neutral/analytical voice for data posts. Typical length: a short TL;DR plus 300–1,200 words with numbers/links/brief charts. Tone: technical, evidence‑focused, risk‑aware. Upvotes go to actionable, on‑chain data and practical advice; avoid hypey sales copy.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/defi's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
