Building a secure and performant oracle is hard. It demands everything: time, focus, and grit, which is why I haven’t been around much on Crypto Twitter lately. Around a month ago, we hired Peter, an experienced crypto marketer, to take on the CMO role. But what happened over the weekend cannot be ignored. Without our knowledge, he engaged in a closed group discussion about the private life of a supporter of our competitor. I believe he’s a good person at heart but lost his way amid toxic discussions and made a mistake. We’ve reviewed the evidence, and we cannot accept crossing the line in that way. Yes, we compete with Chainlink. But I genuinely respect the people there and what they’ve built. Competition is healthy. Disrespecting privacy isn’t. That’s why we’re taking the painful but necessary action. @MarcinRedStone and I have decided to part ways with Peter, effective immediately. I hope this serves as a reminder to everyone in the space about what’s okay and what’s not. Now let’s stop the drama and get back to what actually matters — building and growing our industry.
