DeFi Llama, one of the most trusted platforms for decentralized finance (DeFi) data, has listened to its community and rolled out a small but significant update. In a recent tweet, the team announced: "You asked and we delivered. If you prefer the old DefiLlama navigation, you can now access it by selecting the 'Old Menu' dropdown on the left sidebar."

This move comes after some users expressed a preference for the previous navigation layout following a recent redesign. By adding this option, DeFi Llama ensures everyone can navigate the site in a way that feels familiar and efficient.

Why This Matters for Meme Token Enthusiasts

If you're deep into meme tokens—like those viral, community-driven coins that often spike on hype and social buzz—this update is a win. DeFi Llama is a goldmine for tracking how these tokens perform in the broader DeFi ecosystem. With the old menu back, it's easier to dive into metrics without getting lost in new interfaces.

For the uninitiated, DeFi refers to financial services built on blockchain, like lending, borrowing, and trading without traditional banks. Meme tokens often integrate into DeFi through decentralized exchanges (DEXs) or liquidity pools, where users provide assets to enable trading and earn rewards.

Key Features Highlighted in the Update Video

The accompanying video in the tweet showcases the dashboard, complete with the new "Old Menu" dropdown. It also highlights ongoing features, including a banner announcing the recent launch of DAT (Digital Asset Treasuries) tracking. DATs are essentially the crypto holdings of companies, DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), or other entities—think of them as transparent balance sheets on the blockchain.

This is particularly relevant for meme tokens, as many meme projects have treasuries funded by community contributions or token sales. Tracking these can give insights into a project's financial health and potential for growth.

Here's a snapshot of some key metrics from the dashboard (as of the video):

Metric	Value	24h Change
Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi	$157.826b	-1.79%
Stablecoins Market Cap	$306.295b	+0.73% (7d)
DEXs Volume (24h)	$26.012b	N/A
Perps Volume (24h)	$42.827b	N/A
DAT Inflows (30d)	$4.764b	N/A
Fees Paid (24h)	$115.66m	N/A
ETF Inflows (24h)	$338.9m	N/A

TVL, or Total Value Locked, measures the total amount of crypto assets staked or locked in DeFi protocols— a key indicator of ecosystem health. High DEX volume often signals active trading in meme tokens, as platforms like Uniswap or Raydium on Solana are hotspots for these assets.

How to Use the Old Menu for Better Insights

To switch back, simply head to DeFi Llama's homepage and look for the "Old Menu" in the left sidebar dropdown. From there, you can explore sections like:

• Chains: Compare TVL across blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, or Base, where many meme tokens thrive.
• DEXs: Check trading volumes to spot rising meme tokens.
• Yields: Find the best farming opportunities involving meme assets.
• DAT Dashboard: Newly launched, this lets you see treasury holdings, which might include popular memes like DOGE or PEPE if held by major players.

This flexibility is great for blockchain practitioners who rely on quick, reliable data to make informed decisions. Whether you're analyzing a new meme coin's liquidity or monitoring treasury inflows for signs of institutional interest, DeFi Llama's tools keep you ahead.

Community Reactions and What's Next

The tweet has sparked positive responses, with users thanking the team for the quick response. Comments like "thank god there is an option to go back" from @_yb llama highlight the community's appreciation.

As meme tokens continue to evolve—blending fun with real utility in DeFi—DeFi Llama's commitment to user-friendly updates ensures it's a staple resource. Keep an eye on their X account for more developments, and remember, in the fast-paced world of crypto, staying informed is key to enhancing your strategies.
