As the drama unfolds, it polarises the DeFi community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\r\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/andrecronje.medium.com\/building-in-defi-sucks-part-2-75df9ee7871b\">blog post<\/a>, Andre Cronje &#8216;vented&#8217; about his work as a DeFi developer. Titled &#8216;Building in DeFi sucks,&#8217; the article explains how forks present risk for having his hard work stolen by competitors.<\/p>\r\n<p>Moreover, he stated that liquidity could be essentially siphoned away from a new product or service in which the developer invested a significant amount of time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Andre Cronje stated:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\u201cI can build the superior product even, but a competitor can just fork my code, and a token that infinitely mints, and they\u2019ll have twice the users in a week.\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Such an event occurred earlier in September when anonymous developers forked from Uniswap and officially launched SushiSwap. The project took around $1 billion in liquidity from the decentralized exchange, offering &#8216;copied&#8217; products and services.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As SushiSwap merged with <a href=\"https:\/\/deficoins.io\/yearn-finance-yfi-price-to-test-62000-as-bulls-take-over-the-market\/\">Yearn.Finance<\/a> resulted in an official partnership between the two teams. Following several such mergers, Yearn Finance effectively created an entire DeFi ecosystem of its own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With the aforementioned facts in mind, Schap finds Andre Cronje to be hypocritical given his latest statements. Uniswap&#8217;s main growth lead attacks Yearn Finance and its creator, stating:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\u201cOne of your complaints is that anyone can steal your work in defi. And yet YFI chooses to partner with Sushi. When a legit dapp validates a stolen dapp buy partnering, it just encourages that kind of behavior.\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\n<h2>DeFi Community has no Uniform Stance on Uniswap vs. Andre Cronje Drama<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Naturally, the chain of comments sparked quite a drama within the DeFi community. Numerous crypto enthusiasts have taken different sides, with no uniform stance on the argument. While some believe that Uniswap&#8217;s code is in the public domain and developers have the right to use it, others deem it a blatant theft.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The most interesting revelation in this event is that Uniswap presented its view of SushiSwap for the first time. We now see that the &#8216;King of DeFi&#8217; officially believes that SushiSwap is a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ashleighschap\/status\/1349032223501070339?s=20\">&#8216;stolen dApp,&#8217;<\/a> per the words of Schap.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Founder and CEO of the famous cryptocurrency exchange FTX also chimed in and presented his view. Sam Bankman Fried, heavily involved in the SushiSwap fork, defended the forked project:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">&#8220;This is maybe harsh, but I believe it. Uniswap had a long time to do something, anything, with its product. It didn&#8217;t. This wasn&#8217;t Sushiswap copying brand new code in real time. It was practically public domain.&#8221;<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With morals and ethics, it is complicated for anyone to conclude whether either side is right or wrong. SushiSwap might have basically stolen Uniswap&#8217;s work, but it managed to form its own brand and unique services &amp; products only a month after launching.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Yearn Finance&#8217;s creator Andre Cronje complained about forked DeFi projects in his latest blog post, a member of the Uniswap team &#8216;attacked&#8217; Cronje over his controversial claims.
