The counts above are queried from the archive and rebuilt every night. The findings below are not: each is fixed at the date it was computed and is never recomputed by a later build. A published finding is a claim about the data at a moment, and moving it quietly would invalidate every citation of it.

Latest finding

02 — The Blind Spot

None of the 114 positions in pools DefiLlama tracks with published yields earned zero fees. Of the 45 in pools it does not track, 16 did — 35.6%.

Figures computed 31 August 2026

Earlier

The archive

Two records, kept separate on purpose.

History back to 11 February 2022 — 7,762,557 daily observations across 16,199 pools — is backfilled from DefiLlama’s own public per-pool charts. One point per pool per day. Anyone can pull it from the same endpoint, for the pools that still exist.

Our own record runs from 20 August 2026 — 3,903,064 observations so far, every six hours rather than once a day, currently across 16,747 pools. It holds pools as they were at the time, including pools that later vanish from the source and can no longer be served to anybody. That is the part which cannot be rebuilt by someone who was not recording, and it grows every day. 12,415 of the pools we track have no backfilled history at all.

Access is being built in three shapes: a free tier with recent data, full history with API access, and the whole archive as a single file. Priced in euros, payable by card or USDC.

None of it is open yet. There is no checkout and no account to create. Until there is, the archive answers questions directly: say what you need and we will tell you whether the record covers it, and what it says.
