Blockchain data platform DeFiLlama has reinstated volume data for the Aster perpetual exchange, despite a decision earlier in the month to cease showing it over data integrity concerns
“It’s still a black box and we can’t verify the numbers,” said DeFiLlama’s founder, the pseudonymous 0xngmi, on X
“We’re working on a solution that will include other metrics to make this better, but since this might take some time Aster team asked us to relist them meanwhile.”

0xngmi has said that Aster’s data is unverifiable because the protocol failed to provide “order-level” transparency — such as which wallets were making and filling trades.
DeFiLlama’s perpetual volume data for Aster now includes major gaps in the months of September and October.
