Anton Bukov, the co-founder of the renowned DeFi protocol 1inch, is officially departing from the platform’s active operations after a 7 years journey. At the same time, Anton Bukov is introducing his own exclusive venture, Second Tier. As per Anton Bukov’s official X announcement, his exit from active engagement at 1inch is a result of some differences over the long-term strategy of 1inch and its future direction. Particularly, the platform’s team had barred him from his active role at the end of November last year following months of trying to align with the current management.
