The core teams of many blockchain companies seem to be in an "unstable" state.

Following the resignation of Cosmos founder Jae Kwon, Cosmos second-in-command and core developer Zaki Manian announced that he had resigned from all Cosmos development jobs and directorships last week, but will continue to contribute to Cosmos code.

Manian is the core developer of Cosmos, mainly responsible for the development tasks of Cosmos and the management of Tendermint, the development company behind Cosmos. Previously, he had made remarks on the departure of Jae Kwon, accusing Kwon of intensifying internal conflicts due to his poor management of the company.

Interestingly, a Cosmos insider revealed,Manian had threatened the team to quit the development of Cosmos and take his team of engineers with him unless Kwon resigned as CEO.

recently acceptedDecryptIn the interview, Manian responded to this incident. He said that he was very unwilling to accept Kwon's decision to resign as CEO. He said,"There are always people in the company who want to sow discord between me and Kwon, saying that I threaten the position and interests of Kwon and even other executives of the company., internal conflicts will inevitably affect the development progress of Cosmos, and now I can't think of a better way to solve this problem than leaving my job. "

It seems that Manian is also very helpless. The company's internal conflicts escalated, and the only way to end it all was to resign.

Kwon declined to comment on Manian's departure.

So far, the two core staff of Cosmos have resigned from their positions and titles in Cosmos. Although Kwon retains his title in the ICF Foundation, most of his energy will be invested in the Cosmos ecological project Virgo (an organization composed of people and organizations) Open Consortium), Manian continues to make code contributions to the Cosmos development process.

It's unclear how many developers have exited Cosmos, and Manian declined to say how many employees resigned following him. All we know is that as of early February, the Cosmos development team still has 60 employees.
