Apology with $14M

Post Feature Image

After having rug-pulled users and other participants by selling his dev stack and dropping the price by over 60% in less than a day, Chef Nomi apologises to the community and returned $14 million worth of ETH to the treasury. Which was a highly unexpected move, one that frankly many others would have likely not done.

Chef Nomi’s Comp

After having returned 38,000ETH, Chef Nomi stated: “I will let the community decide how much I deserve as the original creator of SushiSwap. In any currency (ETH/SUSHI/etc). With any lockup schedule you wish.” He turned his decision around and made it decentralised, in the hands of the community. A lockup schedule would ensure the rug-pull incident would not happen again.

0xMaki: $1,000,000+ Upfront?

A member of the current team of developers and one of the original founders working independently on SushiSwap goes by the name 0xMaki. A proposal was put forward by Adam Cochran to compensate them handsomely in order to work full-time on the project. The compensation is outlined as follows:

  • 500,000 SUSHIs upfront ($1M+)
  • 500,000 SUSHIs locked over a one-year period as a founders grant
  • 500,000 SUSHIs vested over two-years for continued work on Sushi

More votes were casted in favour of this proposal than against until now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
