According to Odaily Planet Daily, Story co-founder and CEO SY Lee gave an exclusive interview today to the popular crypto podcast The Rollup. In the interview, SY Lee stated, "I'm the project initiator. I set the vision, built the team, and raised funds. I'm the ultimate decision-maker. Jason (another co-founder who recently announced his departure) focused on protocol design and took on more marketing responsibilities, such as appearing on podcasts and giving public speeches. Going forward, I'll also be participating more in podcasts and interviews, gradually taking on these roles. Previously, Jason was more like the face of the company. People might think Jason was the founder and brand representative, while I was more of a shadow founder behind the scenes. Many people don't truly understand this."

Earlier news, Story co-founder Jason Zhao announced in his personal account that he would resign from his full-time job in the project and participate as a strategic advisor.
