DefiLlama Undergoes A Fork Amid Concerns That Team Members Have Gone Rogue

DefiLlama was in the eye of the storm as the project underwent a sudden split triggered by a potential token launch.

Total value locked (TVL) aggregator platform DefiLlama was forked over the weekend after one of the project’s lead developers 0xngmi accused its founders of planning to launch a token that failed to represent the interest of employees. 0xngmi went on to direct users to a new website (llama.fi) and a new Twitter handle that had garnered over 9,000 followers at press time.

The new website bore striking similarities to the original DefiLlama site but failed to include the platform’s news website and LlamaNodes, its infrastructure service.

However, a message on DefiLlama’s telegram group claimed that 0xngmi and other employees under his banner had gone rogue while spreading false rumors of a hostile takeover.

    The metrics in this report will focus on BNB Smart Chain (BSC). BSC is an EVM-compatible, layer-1 blockchain secured by a form of Proof-of-Staked-Authority (PoSA) that combines aspects of Proof-of-Authority (PoA) and Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS). In PoSA on BSC, the validator set is of fixed size and is elected by stake weight (staked plus bonded). In addition, validators must continue staking assets to secure the network, and validators chosen to produce blocks are rotated (not based on stake weight). For a full primer on the BNB Chain ecosystem, refer to our Ecosystem report.

    TRON (TRX) is a public open-sourced blockchain network using a Delegated-Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) mechanism. It utilizes an election mechanism that determines who maintains the network. All TRX stakers vote onchain on which candidates they want to become Super Representatives. In each epoch, the top 27 most voted-for candidates become Super Representatives within the active set and take turns producing blocks. An election occurs every six hours.

    Over the last few years, the Ethereum ecosystem has made tremendous strides in advancing the modular roadmap, a strategic plan aimed at enhancing scalability and efficiency through specialization and layering within the blockchain network. This has led to the development of an increasing number of chains, each specialized for distinct use cases. The cost of spinning up a new rollup has decreased significantly, blobs and data availability have made settling transactions even cheaper, and we now have L3s on top of L2s. It’s only a matter of time before we get to a world of 10,000 rollups and chains.
