Decentralized financial analytics platform (Defi) DefiLlama appears to have resolved an internal conflict within the team that previously threatened to “fork” the platform.
Potential problems at DefiLlama were first revealed when developer 0xngmi claimed in a Twitter post on March 19 that DefiLlama was “conducting a hostile takeover,” by launching a token called “LLAMA” without employee approval or support.
In response, DefiLlama’s parent company accused “0xngmi and several team members” of having “failed” by attempting to seize DefiLlama’s intellectual property while “inaccurately claiming the rightful owner was conducting a hostile takeover.”
But just one day later, it appears that the internal conflict has ended.
3/3 All hands from @LlamaCorpOrg will continue to work together to develop open and transparent solutions for the decentralized world we love.

In a Twitter thread on March 20, the DefiLlama team apologized for the debacle, citing “poor communication and misunderstandings within the team” while clarifying that new tokens were not planned.
“We want to put down what happened. There are no LLAMA tokens currently planned, and any airdrop will be discussed with the community, because every decision is important. We will take steps to operate more transparently so that this does not happen again.
0xngmi, the alleged “failed” developer has confirmed that the internal issues have been resolved and will remain.
Tweeting on March 20, Oxngmi said that “everything has been resolved, the fork has been canceled,” and that “all work will continue on DeFiLlama.”
Tendeeno, a contributor who mainly works on other projects under the Llama Corp. umbrella, also confirmed that after “back and forth” the team resolved the issue and decided to open DefiLlama “as normal.”
Contributors also ensure everyone on the team is happy with the results.
