This is the monthly hack *count* taken from @DefiLlama. Hacked sum doesn’t matter to me because it depends on market cycles. This thing will keep increasing, and it will keep increasing as rogue actors explore thousands of exploit paths in millions of lines of public code. A literal Armageddon of hacks will hit crypto and send the R/R to negative territory. We can get out of this stronger with a small number of extremely resilient chains and protocols but we will go through a very weird time for a while.

GM Trade Has Just Overtaken Aster for 24-Hour Volume...?! According to data from DefiLlama, @gmtrade_xyz is currently the #2# perp DEX for 24-hour volume, at some $4.7 billion. It pushes @Aster_DEX into the #3# spot with around $1.9 billion in daily volume. The data seems strange, however, with $ASTER's open interest of around $2.1 billion far eclipsing GM Trade's mere $44.4 million. What is going on?!

Stellar Blockchain's TVL Will Not Stop Growing! According to data from DefiLlama, @StellarOrg's total value locked has seen nothing but growth over the past two years. From as little as <$10 million in early 2024, $XLM's TVL now stands at roughly $190 million. It reached an all-time high on April 23 at nearly $206 million. How high can it climb in 2026...?

Shipped 4 releases this week at @TrustWallet: 2 features + 2 hotfixes — Hyperliquid support, Solana & Aptos address updates, DeFiLlama dApp data integration, and more. App Stores are accelerating. So are we. Ship daily, not weekly.

Aave in one tab. Uniswap in another. Morpho in a third. DefiLlama in a fourth to compare rates. A bridge in a fifth. Don't forget your browser extension! And we wonder why DeFi hasn't gone mainstream.
