gm, career update 🦙
I’ve joined @DefiLlama full-time as an engineer.
After 4+ years of building products from 0→1, this is a new chapter for me.
I’ve been using DefiLlama since 2021, when reliable crypto data was still pretty fragmented. Watching DefiLlama grow into one of the default places to understand what’s actually happening onchain, while staying open, neutral and transparent, has been pretty wild.
Fast forward a few years, and now I’m building alongside a team I’ve respected for years.
Excited to be a llama 🦙
Pons crossed $62m in cumulative fees today, and did 80% of pumpfun's volume over the last month.
Built a dashboard highlighting data from this week's @DefiLlama newsletter:
- fomo's $1.5m fee day
- Pons & fomo vs competitors
- The largest Pre-IPO premiums

DefiLlama's AI is the best tool to find breakout DeFi apps on Robinhood Chain right now.
Here's a prompt to get you started:
Show me DeFi protocols on Robinhood Chain gaining momentum. For every protocol deployed on Robinhood Chain, pull current TVL, and 1d, 7d, and 30d TVL % change, plus 1d/7d/30d fees/revenue change and DEX/derivatives volume change.
Rank by absolute dollar TVL/fee growth as the main list (real momentum in dollar terms).
Separately, build a second list: 'small-base breakouts': protocols with a low starting TVL/volume (e.g. under $500K at the start of the window) that posted a large percentage jump (e.g. 3x+) in the 1d, 7d, or 30d window. Don't discard or bury these in the main list: a $50K→$5M move belongs here as a potential new breakout, separate from established protocols scaling up in absolute dollars.
Also flag whether each mover's TVL change is mostly price-driven (token price move roughly matching the TVL move) vs. net new deposits, and call out anything that just launched/was newly listed on Robinhood Chain in the last 30-60 days.
Chart the top movers' TVL and fees trend over the last 30 days for both lists.
"Identify sources of growth, protocol-owned liquidity, and ecosystem activity."
We did just that by asking @llama to review the new @THORChain dashboard. Here's what was found:
Built a Dune dashboard for @arcus_xyz Spot.
Tracks daily volume, swaps, transactions, users, and new users from on-chain events.
