One of the famous data statistics units of the crypto industry, DefiLlama, suddenly revealed that there was a conflict within the project on the issue of private token issuance.
DefiLlama splits the team due to a disagreement on token issuance
On the evening of March 19, the crypto community on Twitter was shocked by the news that a part of the DefiLlama team decided to separate because they did not agree with the decision to issue tokens.
Specifically, the Twitter account of 0xngmi, one of the founders of DefiLlama and commonly known as the representative of this crypto data site, states:
The DefiLlama team is forking Defillama@Defillama is undergoing a hostile takeover
There is an ongoing attempt to launch a token that does not represent us. We don’t want to be associated with it
Use https://t.co/G0h4uBo2mL and @llamadotfi instead!

“The DefiLlama team will split the project. DefiLlama is being taken over.
There is an attempt to issue tokens that do not represent our will. We don’t want to be attached to it.
Use llama.fi and follow the Twitter account @llamadotfi!”
0xngmi further revealed that the person taking control of the DefiLlama.com website and the project’s official Twitter account decided to issue the token, despite the objections of another group. Therefore, a part of the team, who are confirmed by 0xngmi to have built DefiLlama for the past 3 years and not for financial gain, chose to separate as a separate project with the name Llama.fi.
The Llama.fi page has an interface and features that are almost identical to DefiLlama.com
0xngmi also warned the community not to believe the claims made from DefiLlama’s Twitter page.
That is why we (the DefiLlama team who have built the site you all know and love for the past three years) have decided to fork Defillama and start fresh on https://t.co/G0h4uBo2mL and @llamadotfi
DO NOT TRUST ANY COMMUNICATION OR TOKEN FROM @Defillama or Defillama .com

0xngmi also confirmed the above post in the famous LobsterDAO group of the DeFi community, confirming that it was not hacked Twitter.

In response, the Twitter account of DefiLlama’s “apprentice” claimed that 0xngmi had arbitrarily separated, intentionally appropriated the intellectual property rights of the DefiLlama brand, and provided false information.
0xngmi and a few team members have gone rogue, they are actively looking to seize Defillama IP and community while incorrectly claiming the rightful owner to be doing a hostile takeover https://t.co/rc5Fx68KD4
