Sushi DAO said in a blog entry:
Turnout reached 13 million votes, with nearly 11 million votes (84%) in favor of Grey, the company confirmed.
“Ten months after the departure of 0xMaki, the team is delighted to welcome a candidate with the right expertise, experience and ability to best represent Sushi 2.0.”
OxMaki is another of SushiSwap’s founders, who became the de facto leader of the project after Nomi’s departure. However, he wanted to remain anonymous and not remain the leader. OxMaki said in a forum post:
“We had a crazy journey ranging from starting a yield farm to migrating almost over a billion dollars in Uniswap’s first-ever “vampire attack”. UNI/USD to Sushiswap. Experimenting with human greed if Chef Nomi decided to “pull” the community before sending the funds back.
I will transition from day-to-day operations to an advisory role to nurture the next generation of teams that build on sushi, support from the sidelines, and without affiliation helping the broader DeFi ecosystem, wherever deployed.”
Cook Nomi was once a major success story in DeFi for empire building, peaking at $7 billion in November 2021. Nomi and the other founders forked Uniswap and added a secret ingredient to their new SushiSwap, allowing users to trade SUSHI Earn tokens by staking. ..
