SushiSwap Creator Makes a U-Turn; Returns $14 Million Worth of Ether

2020-9-13 16:29

In the latest turn of events, just when you think the drama is coming to an end, comes a tweet from Chef Nomi.

It was on the last weekend that the anonymous creator of DEX SushiSwap cashed out his share of the development fund; now, just before this weekend, Chef Nomi apologized to the crypto community for their greed.

To everyone. I fucked up. And I am sorry.

The creator also returned all of their $14 million worth of Ether to the treasury and “will let the community decide how much I deserve as the original creator of SushiSwap.”

Now, Adam Cochran, a co-signer of the multi-sig, is proposing to use some of these returned funds to re-buy SUSHI token, which is trading at $2.33.

Currently, the SushiSwap community is working on bringing the policy changes they have voted for to the protocol, including reducing its token reward schedule and introducing fee staking and a lock-up period for newly minted SUSHI.

The Apologies Round

This week, the control of the Uniswap clone was handed over to FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, and the subsequent successful migration of SushiSwap happened. Already it is recording $200 million in daily volume and $1.54 billion of liquidity. The community also voted for ten people as the multi-sig signers for the treasury.

Chef Nomi apologized to all the people involved in the project and “for bringing a bad reputation to the DeFi movement.” At the time of selling his SUSHI tokens, the pseudo-anonymous creator said they deserved the funds for doing all the work.

Synthetix founder is in favor of “powerful incentives” to “attract all the amazing founders languishing in Fintech building shitty TradFi overlays” in crypto, much like Chef Nomi.

But yEarn founder Andre Cronje argued that incentives should be aligned and “earning a casual $1.5m for < 2 weeks worth of work, off of cloning someone else's work, hardly seems aligned.”

The creator also directed their apologies towards Uniswap creator Hayden Adams, of which it is a copycat.

“I hope that SushiSwap continues to evolve. Don't let my mistake deter it from being a 100% community-run AMM. The success of SushiSwap will set a precedent for many more community-run projects,” said Chef Nomi. “It has a lot of potential, don’t let my action alone fuck it up.”

Chaos has a way of sorting itself

While those who lost their money during the SUSHI’s 80% price dump following Chef Nomi’s “exit scam” berated him still in the comments section of Twitter, some speculated this move was because he was doxxed.

Others complimented the creator for owning up to their mistakes and correcting them. Cronje said,

“Less apology, more coding. Sushiswap needs you. Get back to work and build something that leaves a legacy. You chose Sushiswap over yourself, now just keep building.”

Amidst this, popular trader Loomdart shared his two bits on the Sushi saga, saying the project is not a conspiracy because “$14m is pennies when you attribute the stress/fear that comes with “doing” what ChefNomi did.” He said,

“Crypto is chaos. chaos just has a way of managing to sort itself out when peoples incentives align.”
