> **Visual Note:** A line chart titled "Maple Counter-Cyclical: -1.0% QoQ vs -25.2% for Aggregate Onchain Lending" compares Maple Finance's TVL against the broader DeFi Lending Category from April to July 2026, showing Maple delivering a +24.2 pts outperformance as the category declined to roughly 75 (indexed to 100 on Mar 31, 2026) while Maple rebounded to near 99. The chart, sourced from Maple Dune Dashboard and DeFiLlama with data as of June 30, 2026 via GLCResearch, visually reinforces the post's claim that Maple's modest -0.94% QoQ AuM decline contrasted sharply with the DeFi lending sector's 25.2% TVL drop.

Against that backdrop, Maple:
→ AuM: $4.61B, -0.94% QoQ
→ Active loans:"

@maplefinance
 after calling out “DeFi is Dead”. 

What is dead?
According to Sid. It is the 2021 version of DeFi: wallet connections, token incentives, users manually combining protocols, and layers of smart-contract risk.
