“# Uniswap’s growth lead bites back over Yearn Finance\u2019s SushiSwap merger <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Uniswap growth lead Ashleigh Schap has slammed a recent article from Yearn Finance founder Cronje that criticized forked protocols in the DeFi space, with Schap describing Yearn\u2019s recent merger with SushiSwap as validating a “stolen DApp<\/a>”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cronje\u2019s Jan.12 blog post<\/a>, “Building in DeFi sucks,” complained about the risk of competitors forking his code, and combining such with attractive tokenomics in a bid to siphon away users from the products that he has invested significant time into building. He wrote:<\/p>\n

\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<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is exactly what happened when SushiSwap was forked from Uniswap in late August 2020, with the new project launching a native token and yield farming program to successfully leech more than $1 billion worth of liquidity away from Uniswap. <\/p>\n

In early December 2020, Yearn Finance merged with SushiSwap, drawing the ire of the Uniswap community. As such, the apparent hypocrisy of Cronje\u2019s comments was not lost on Uniswap\u2019s growth lead, who tweeted<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\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<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Schap also took aim at Cronje\u2019s comments in which he described the notion of community within the crypto sector as \u201cbullshit\u201d which featured alongside the claim that \u201cgovernance and community kill innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

6\/ Completely disagree that community is bullshit. Uniswap community & users evangelized uniswap into the biggest dapp on ethereum long before there was a token. The community incentive of needing decentralized liquidity was enough.<\/p>\n
