The founder of Uniswap is accused of treason

Balance CEO Ric Burton says Uniswap founder Hayden Adams, who he once considered to be his closest friend, has fooled him.

Burton was sure that Hayden would include him in the Uniswap round for this help. But he never became the co-founder of Uniswap. And now, when his $25,000 would be worth $18 million, he has brought this story public. Of course, it’s not about the money. It’s all about justice.
