【TL; DR】
One of DeFi’s most prolific and well respected pioneers has officially left the space - again.Andre Cronje, better known for his contributions to Yearn Finance, has been accredited with superstar status in recent years. Playing such a pivotal role within any space comes with a price however, often leading Cronje to wish the space farewell - with a quick return often imminent.
Yet, this time it appears Cronje is intent on leaving behind the space - with no return in sight.
Who is Andre Cronje?
If you haven’t heard of Andre Cronje, you’ve almost definitely heard of Yearn Finance. Renowned for its immense transformation from an essentially negligible token to $40,000 highs, earning it blue chip status, Yearn Finance is a certified big deal within DeFi.Having worked across over 25 projects with his primary developer partner, Anton Nell, the pair have forged an ecosystem that has become inherent to the world of DeFi. Whether it be Multichain, Keeper Network, or Yearn Finance, the pair have built some of the most significant DeFi projects in existence, with seemingly no signs of stopping.
However, Cronje’s involvement with the likes of Yearn Finance have somewhat waned in recent years, with him drawing away from the space progressively, as well as his other projects. Leading him to formally ‘quit’ the blockchain space in March of 2020, following barrages of toxicity and hatred from the community. Unsurprisingly, he quickly returned, before making another dramatic exit in August - before returning again.
Yet this time Cronje and Nell’s combined activity appears different - as if these final months are their ultimate swan song to the blockchain world.
