Yesterday, Kain Warwick, the founder of the Ethereum DeFi protocol Synthetix, launched a voting event on Su Zhu has been pretending to be dead and not responding. Recently, the founder of Bankless, David Hoffman, also took the initiative to ask him to fight in the ring. So Kain Warwick hopes to let the community decide through voting that he should have a fight. Wait for Su Zhu to respond or accept David Hoffman's challenge.
According to Kain Warwick, he has practiced martial arts on and off throughout his life and has practiced karate, taekwondo, equestrian and boxing for more than 10 years. The final voting results showed that the majority of voters still preferred to see a duel between Kain Warwick and Su Zhu.
I challenged @zhusu to a fight at @KarateCombat in SG but he’s ghosted me . @TrustlessState has stepped up and offered to fight me at Permissionless instead. Should I hold out for Su?

Therefore, Kain Warwick once again issued an ultimatum to Su Zhu on X, giving him 24 hours to respond to the challenge instead of pretending not to see it.
In response, Su Zhu responded that she had expressed her sincere apology to Kain Warwick through a private message a few months ago. But Kain Warwick has been ignoring it for several months, and even leaked the conversation record between the two, and Su Zhu finally said that he would reject Kain Warwick's challenge.
Regarding Su Zhu’s rejection, Kain Warwick said:
"I didn't respond to your apology because then you would turn around and use it to protect your own image, such as conveying to the public, 'Kain and I have reconciled and things are fine between us' or similar words."
It is not clear what the deep hatred between Su Zhu and Kain Warwick led to the fight. But the conflict between the two can be traced back to 2021, when Su Zhu announced his abandonment of Ethereum. As a result, Kain Warwick had a fierce dispute with him on X, criticizing each other for selling tokens for profit and violating their beliefs.
