Solend founder explains Alameda’s ‘perplexing behavior’ throughout IDO
Rooter mentioned his experience with Bankman-Fried-owned Alameda Research throughout the preliminary dex offering (IDO) for Solend.
According to him, Alameda had actually taken part in Solend’s seed round –an action he had actually translated indicated they desired to support the Solana-based loaning procedure. However, the trading company performed a series of “perplexing behavior” to stunt the development of the procedure.

rewind to solend’s IDO in nov 2021. after a sleep deprived night, the IDO website was released. I stepped away to capture up on sleep, and upon awakening discovered that >$100M was contributed to the IDO. the suggested FDV was pumped up to >$2.5B, undeservedly matching aave at the time.

But Solend utilized a mango-style IDO which permitted users to deposit or withdraw on the very first day and after that just withdraw on the 2nd. On the 2nd day, simply a couple of minutes prior to the IDO ended, $80 million was taken out of the procedure, which indicated it raised just $26 million.
The Solend founder mentioned that on-chain information exposed that Alameda Research managed the 2 accounts that at first transferred $40 million each and eliminated $80 million at the eleventh hour.
Alameda’s relocation efficiently indicated it got a much better rate for the tokens given that the at first high FDV would have terrified other financiers from purchasing the procedure. Rooter continued that these actions “make sense if you remember that Alameda is a profit maxi hedge fund (just larping as VC because it’s lucrative).”
Rooter stated:
“Alameda’s actions reflect SBF’s ideology. profit absolves all sins. the ends justify the means. effective altruism.”
