Aster’s quiet relisting on DefiLlama leaves ‘big gaps’ in data: Exec

Decentralized finance (DeFi) data aggregator DefiLlama has quietly reinstated the decentralized exchange (DEX) Aster after previously delisting it due to disputed trading data, a move flagged by Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi due to the lack of public announcement and the presence of "big gaps" in historical data. The pseudonymous DefiLlama founder, "0xngmi," confirmed that the team still cannot fully verify Aster's numbers, calling it a "black box," but relisted the project at Aster's request while developing a new system with more metrics. The initial delisting sparked a debate about data provider power, as DefiLlama could not distinguish wash trading from legitimate activity. Although Aster's current metrics are visible, the missing historical data fragments longitudinal comparisons, effectively resetting its historical footprint on the platform, even as it immediately topped 24-hour and seven-day perp volume leaderboards.
