DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi has accused Blockworks of reselling DeFiLlama's free data through its $4,500 per year paid analytics service, allegedly violating the terms of service. This accusation comes as Blockworks announced the closure of its news division to focus on data-centric operations. Blockworks' head of data, Dan Smith, countered the claim by stating that DeFiLlama's data had been deprecated months ago. However, 0xngmi presented evidence of recent updates, intensifying the dispute. The controversy has led to significant backlash on social media platform X, with users criticizing Blockworks' data practices and recent layoffs.
