Belatedly Wednesday, Joseph Delong, chief technology officer of SushiSwap, the thirteenth largest decentralized substitution, or DEX, by trading volume, tendered his immediate resignation from the role. Explaining his decision, Delong gave the following statement:

"I wish Sushi the all-time and am saddened that Sushi is so imperiled within and without. The anarchy that is occurring at present is unlikely to result in a resolution that will exit the DAO every bit much more of a shadow than it once was without a radical structural transformation."

Previously, Delong had voiced disappointment over the inability for SushiSwap to launch on Optimism, a layer two scaling solution for Ethereum (ETH). Delong also claimed to receive footling support from centralized exchanges about hackers' identities after the SushiSwap's token launchpad experienced a $3M hack, saying information technology was the "hardest day of my life so far."

But it appears that it wasn't but the technical setbacks of the projection that played a role in Delong's decision. In a series of follow-up tweets after the proclamation, Delong posted screenshots of alleged harassment from SushiSwap users, to which he then cited "it'southward the community that does it for me."

"I highly recommend the installation of a C-suite from exterior the DAO [decentralized autonomous organization] and requite them the tools to effectively manage a team. Be wary of any self-proclaimed leaders arising from the current core team," said Delong.
