DefiLlama Quietly Reinstates Aster After Data Dispute, Leaving Gaps in Metrics
Quick Breakdown
- Aster reinstated: DefiLlama quietly relisted Aster after weeks of delisting over trading data inconsistencies.
- Verification pending: DefiLlama admits Aster’s numbers remain unverified as it builds a better data-tracking system.
- Transparency gap: Missing historical records undermine trust and distort long-term market metrics.
DefiLlama reinstates Aster without public announcement
Decentralized finance (DeFi) data platform DefiLlama has quietly reinstated decentralized exchange Aster to its analytics dashboard, just weeks after removing it due to concerns over questionable trading data. The move, which came without any official statement from either party, was first flagged by Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi on X.
So after the earlier delisting drama, @Aster_DEX is now back on @DefiLlama but with big gaps in their historical data.
Doesn’t seem like the re-listing was ever publicly discussed… are we good now? Satisfied volume numbers are legit @0xngmi ? https://t.co/CzsDfcDPuI pic.twitter.com/zRzLVqlRGd

Qureshi noted the relisting appeared to have “big gaps” in Aster’s historical data and asked DefiLlama’s pseudonymous founder 0xngmi whether the updated figures could now be verified.
DefiLlama still unable to verify Aster’s data
Responding to Qureshi’s post, 0xngmi clarified that DefiLlama still cannot fully verify Aster’s data, describing the system as a “black box.” He explained that while the team is building a new mechanism to track additional onchain metrics, Aster’s developers requested to be temporarily reinstated.
“We’re working on a solution that will include other metrics to make this better, but since this might take some time, Aster’s team asked us to relist them meanwhile,” 0xngmi stated.
Aster was originally delisted two weeks ago after irregularities were detected in its trading data, leading to speculation that part of its reported activity might have been fabricated or unverified.
Data gaps raise transparency concerns
Although Aster’s data feed is once again live on DefiLlama, analysts noticed missing historical records, creating discontinuity in performance tracking. This gap affects trend analyses such as fee leaderboards, market share, and cumulative revenue charts — essentially resetting Aster’s data history.
Despite the fragmentation, Aster re-emerged as a top performer, ranking first in both 24-hour and seven-day perpetual trading volume, followed by rivals Hyperliquid and Lighter.
Meanwhile, In a recent interview with Trends founder Mable Jiang on September 29, Aster CEO Leonard revealed the project’s roadmap for its third phase, known as Season 3. The new stage centres on launching Aster Chain, a blockchain tailored for trading utilities rather than building an entire ecosystem.
