DeFiLlama delays mobile app launch over phishing apps on the App Store

DeFiLlama has held back its official mobile app release because phishing apps impersonating the project have remained on Apple’s App Store, according to founder 0xngmi. He said the team decided not to launch until all fake apps are removed, aiming to reduce the risk of users being scammed. 0xngmi also described the team’s efforts to get one fraudulent app taken down. He said they spent months reporting the app to Apple for trademark infringement and impersonation of the official DeFiLlama product. The team later funded a small wallet, downloaded the app, and found that the wallet’s funds were fully stolen, which they then reported to Apple. According to him, the app was removed within a few days after that report. He added that he wanted other crypto companies to know about the experience so they would not waste time in the same way.

DefiLlama data shows 31.7% of new Hyperliquid users made their first trade in RWA markets

DefiLlama Research data shows that from January to June 2026, about 169,000 wallets made their first trade on Hyperliquid in its RWA market, accounting for 31.7% of new users during the period. DefiLlama co-founder 0xngmi said that among users whose first trade was an RWA trade, about 80.9% continued trading RWA afterward, but did not move on to broader crypto asset trading. The figures suggest Hyperliquid’s RWA products did attract a new user cohort, yet most of those users remained focused on RWA trading rather than converting into crypto trading users. The data points to a clear split between demand for RWA trading and demand for crypto trading on the platform.

DeFiLlama says Apple removed fake App Store app after theft evidence was submitted

DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi said the team deliberately funded a wallet linked to a fake DeFiLlama app on Apple’s App Store and allowed the app to steal the funds in order to collect hard evidence. According to the disclosure, Apple removed the app within days after receiving proof of the theft. Before that, the DeFiLlama team had repeatedly reported the app to Apple for trademark infringement, but had received no response for months. During that period, the team also delayed the release of its own official app to avoid confusing users. Public information about the developer behind the fake app has not been disclosed, and 0xngmi did not provide the amount sent from the sacrificial wallet or the exact timing of the test. The account was cited by CryptoBriefing.

DeFiLlama says Apple removed fake app only after team proved wallet theft

DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi said on Aug. 15 that the team had spent months trying to get Apple to remove a fake app impersonating DeFiLlama from the App Store. According to his post on social media, the team repeatedly reported the app to Apple over trademark infringement and for posing as the official product, but those reports did not lead to a takedown. The situation changed after DeFiLlama funded a small wallet, downloaded the app, and saw the wallet drained, as expected. The team then reported that theft to Apple. 0xngmi said the app was removed within days after Apple received the report. He added that he wanted other crypto companies to know about the experience so they would not waste time in the same way.

DeFiLlama founder questions Apple App Store review after fake app stayed live for months

DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi said on X that Apple’s App Store review and complaint process failed to remove a fake DeFiLlama application for months, even after his team repeatedly reported it for trademark infringement and for impersonating the official app. According to his account, those earlier complaints did not lead to effective action from Apple. The team then took the extra step of downloading and using the app themselves. After depositing a small amount of funds into it, they said the wallet assets were stolen, matching their expectation that the app was malicious. Once they had confirmed that behavior, they filed another report with Apple. 0xngmi said the fake app was then removed from the App Store within a few days. The post was framed as a direct criticism of Apple’s app review mechanism, with the founder arguing that repeated reports alone were not enough to get the impersonating app taken down before users were exposed to risk.
