Hello @defipulse! This is our second official request to enable a liquidity protocol 1inch to your service! DeFi — this is freedom, and you should not ignore our project with a total locked value of over $2 billion just because your founder (Scott) is creating a project that competes with our aggregator.
Co-founder and CEO 1inch Sergey Kunz also commented Lewis tweeted:
What is this anyway?! Threats of physical harm?! You mean ETHDenver2019, where I extended my hand to you to forget everything that happened before and start collaborating? And you refused with the words: “Leave me alone…”? Your CTO attacked us with a DoS, we were forced to publicly release the details to stop it.
