$GRVT Discord intends to allow the web searchability of some conversations among users of its 63,000 Discoverable Servers. This may help users looking for information that is concealed in the various messages posted in public channels.
However, for various crypto communities that have been dealing with scammers, there is an underlying concern that fraudsters can also take advantage of being able to access that information.
The October 27 announcement is applicable only to Discoverable Servers, which are required to have at minimum 1,000 users and to comply with the requirements of age, activity, and safety. Invite-only communities, private channels, and direct messages are not included. Discord hopes people will find useful answers without having to join a server first.
What changes on November 16 and in December
The implementation will take place in two phases. Starting November 16, all Discoverable Servers will also have a public Server Web Page. The page will start posting AI-generated summaries of conversations from that date forward. By the middle of December, some selected new messages from the public channels could also appear on these pages and in web search results.
Discord guarantees that usernames and avatars will be hidden. Users will be notified by an icon about the participating channels and will be warned before sharing any posts.
Admins can manage what is visible through the Web Presence settings. There are dedicated switches for summaries and for messages. By default, both switches are turned on. Unless admins change the settings, all eligible public channels are included.
Discord also acknowledges that the AI-generated summaries might not be accurate. In the case of crypto projects, it introduces a new issue: an improper summary can mislead people who have never even been on the server.
Where the member opt-out stops short
Members can use one account-wide privacy switch for their messages. This switch is turned off by default for users in the EU/EEA, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and South Korea, while in the remaining majority of regions it is turned on.
Teen accounts are not permitted to activate this switch. The trick is that activating off the messages does not prevent AI-generated summaries from being posted. Only admins have control over those.
There is another restriction. If a member opts out, it does not mean that messages that were already eligible for public display will be removed. Discord users have to delete their own messages if they want to remove them from the Discord pages.
However, search engines can still keep cached copies of them, which contributes to the concerns reported by TechCrunch. Some users would not like their messages to be read by anyone other than members of their community. Meanwhile, Discord said that it does not sell messages to AI companies.
Why crypto communities are already wary
There have always been worries about information from Discord reaching outside parties. A study from 2025 showed that researchers were able to collect over 2 billion messages from approximately 3,167 public Discord servers through their API and process them in a way that ensured anonymity.
Unfortunately, not all data gatherers are doing it for research purposes, like Spy Pet, a service first disclosed by 404 Media in 2024. Spy Pet was scraping Discord conversations across multiple servers and charging only about $5 per access to user information.
For crypto communities, the worry stretches far beyond privacy. The lending protocol Morpho has taken its Discord channels into read-only mode in the wake of several scams. According to one of the co-founders, Merlin Egalite, people continue to be duped by scams while they are simply looking for help, despite existing safeguards.
The danger has been well-documented. Check Point Cyber Security discovered a fraudulent operation in which a fake verification method for the platform Collab.Land was applied against Discord users.
Simultaneously, Chainalysis announced that over the course of 2025, it managed to find at least $14 billion worth of scam transactions on the blockchain network with losses due to impersonation running high, accounting for an increase of over 1,400% from the previous year.

$GRVT DefiLlama’s new Markets turn its data infrastructure into a live, tradeable signal layer—one that prices both onchain earnings and hack risk in the same venue.
The initiative, launched with prediction-market protocol Trueo on Base, matters because it moves DefiLlama from reporting DeFi’s most important metrics to letting the market price them directly.
How the Markets Work (Briefly)
The current slate covers three broad categories:
Revenue markets – six monthly lines: Hyperliquid, Pump, Uniswap, Aero, Papertrade, and Collector Crypt.
Exploit / bad-debt markets – e.g., whether Aave or Morpho will be exploited in the current month.
Systemic hack markets – weekly markets on whether any +$1M or +$5M hack hits crypto.
Trading uses TYD, Trueo’s USDC-backed stablecoin. One TYD mints a YES share and a NO share; the winning side redeems for 1 TYD. YES and NO each trade in their own Uniswap pool, so a YES price of 0.82 TYD reads as an 82% implied probability.
Resolution is handled by Trueo’s optimistic oracle—bonded proposals, a 12-hour challenge window, and an escalation path—while DefiLlama supplies the underlying data and earns creator fees as market curator.
Onchain Earnings: Crowd-Priced “Earnings Estimates” for DeFi
Crypto has increasingly treated protocol revenue as a fundamental metric, but it has lacked the earnings ritual of traditional equities: consensus estimates, beats, and misses. DefiLlama’s revenue markets fill that gap.
They function like crowd-sourced earnings estimates. Traders price whether a protocol will hit a revenue threshold, and the market page shows the live run-rate alongside the odds. This turns revenue from a backward-looking dashboard number into a forward-looking, tradeable expectation.
Mispricings already appear. In the early days, favorites traded cheap. Collector Crypt needed roughly $200k/day to clear $15M, yet its worst full October day was $218k—while its market opened at only 62%. DefiLlama’s CRO quipped that participants were “selling dollars for $0.94”.
The significance: Revenue markets create a price discovery mechanism for onchain business performance. As liquidity grows, these odds can become a reference point for analysts, treasuries, and anyone who wants to express a view on a protocol’s fundamentals without buying the token.
Hack Risk: Putting a Live Price on DeFi’s Biggest Specter
Exploits remain DeFi’s dominant tail risk, and DefiLlama’s exploit markets quote that risk in real time.
Specific protocol risk: Markets ask whether Aave or Morpho will be exploited this month, giving depositors and traders a market-implied probability for a defined security event.
Systemic hack activity: Weekly +$1M and +$5M hack markets reflect how frequently large incidents occur. DefiLlama’s own hacks database shows that 82% of all five-day stretches over the past 12 months contained a +$1M hack, and **47%** contained a +$5M hack—providing a base rate against which the markets can be judged.
A conditional hedge—not full insurance: The exploit markets let users trade defined outcomes, but they do not automatically reimburse a depositor’s losses. A hedge can fail to match exposure if the incident falls outside the market rules, the window ends before the holding period, or the payout differs from the actual loss. Traders must review each market’s incident definition, evidence sources, event window, liquidity, and settlement terms.
The significance: For the first time, protocol security risk has a continuous, crowd-sourced price. That can help depositors make more informed allocation decisions, give security teams a market-based signal, and allow risk managers to express or offset views on specific protocols—even if the tool is imperfect.
Why the Markets Matter—and What to Keep in Mind
Why they matter:
Data becomes a market. DefiLlama is turning its methodology into a settlement source and a revenue stream (creator fees as curator), aligning its data business with tradeable outcomes.
New information layer. Revenue markets provide forward-looking earnings estimates for onchain businesses; exploit markets provide live risk pricing. Both fill gaps that token prices alone do not capture.
Accessible hedging and speculation. Users can trade defined outcomes on protocol fundamentals and security events without needing to short a token or structure an OTC hedge.
Attention and accountability. Markets force precision: revenue thresholds and exploit definitions must be measurable, and resolution rules matter. That can raise the bar for how the industry talks about “earnings” and “hacks.”
Caveats:
Liquidity is still thin. Early markets have roughly $10k–$25k of liquidity apiece, so prices can move on modest trade size, and displayed quotes are trading prices—not necessarily reliable probabilities or forecasts. YES and NO quotes may not sum to 100%.
Basis risk is real. Exploit markets are conditional hedges, not compensation for losses; the defined event, timeframe, and payout may not match a user’s actual exposure.
Adoption and market quality determine impact. The markets are a new venue; their long-term usefulness depends on deeper liquidity, clearer rules, and sustained participation.
DefiLlama’s Markets matter because they convert the platform’s two most consequential data verticals—protocol revenue and exploit risk—into live, tradeable probabilities. They give onchain earnings a crowd-priced estimate and give hack risk a continuous price, while also exposing the limits of prediction markets as hedging tools.
Whether these venues become a durable part of DeFi’s information infrastructure will depend on liquidity and adoption, but the direction is clear: DefiLlama is no longer just measuring DeFi—it is letting the market price it.
