Uniswap was given the opportunity to launch first
CTO of SushiSwap Joseph Delong claims that Optimism gave preference to Uniswap, despite claiming to be a community-run project. On Twitter, Delong said Optimism had hindered the launch of SushiSwap and urged Uniswap to launch first. He explained that SushiSwap had set up its decentralized exchange on the Kovan test network. They were in the process of testing and setting up a final version when they learned that Uniswap would get the opportunity instead.Because of how SushiSwap was treated, it decided to launch on Arbitrum instead, which is considered a more "neutral" platform. This is because Arbitrum whitelists every project that requests it.
Delong accuses VCs of influencing the decision
According to a tweet, Delong believes Optimism favors Uniswap because of investors Andreesen Horowitz (a16z) and Paradigm. Both funds have invested in Uniswap and Optimism, as well as many other leading crypto projects. According to Delong, the two VCs may have "colluded" to influence and favor their projects.Previously, a16z had been accused of leveraging its influence within the DeFi community when it allegedly delegated UNI tokens to vote for a Uniswap lobby group called DeFi Education Fund. The fund was later accused of a lack of transparency by DeFi enthusiasts after selling half of its Uniswap grants for $10 million.
Optimism denied the accusation of preferential treatment
DeFi architect and founder Yearn Finance Andre Cronje tweeted about the incident, saying, "This happens a lot more than people think. DeFi is not very DeFi," referring to Optimism's preferential treatment over Uniswap.In response to the allegations, Optimism denied the accusation of preferential treatment, claiming instead that Uniswap was used first because Uniswap had partnered with them 1.5 years ago. They stated that there was no case of preferential treatment but that the decision was made on a first-come, first-served basis. The team now plans to whitelist projects as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
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.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
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.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
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.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
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.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
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.
How often is content updated?
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.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
