▌One of the main designers of The DAO left the Ethereum community after nine years
Stephan Tual, one of the main architects behind The DAO, has left the Ethereum community after nine years. Tual said he now intends to focus on other technologies, including mesh networking and software-based radio communications. In January 2014, Tual joined the Ethereum project as Chief Communications Officer, where he worked until September 2015. At the time he left to start Slock.it, a company that had created a framework for building DAOs in 2016, and that year a large community of developers adopted the framework, collaborated with Slock.it, and used it to launch what became known as A project for TheDAO. Before a bug in its code was exploited, The DAO attracted massive investment, raising 15% of all Ethereum (ETH) in circulation at the time. The problem was so severe that the Ethereum blockchain eventually forked, giving rise to Ethereum and Ethereum Classic as we know them today. After buggy code was exploited to bring The DAO down, Tual faded into obscurity, but remains active in the Ethereum community. He left Slock.it in 2017 to create a cryptocurrency-focused incubator and continues to host Ethereum community events in London.

Therefore, investors are advised to research any DeFi scheme before joining. Because deposit and lending services are not regulated by Thailand's financial and capital market regulator.
