On Wednesday, Edgar Pavlovsky, the CEO of MarginFi, took to X to resign from his position at MarginFi, a company developing crypto borrow-and-lend platforms.&nbsp;
“I resigned from mrgn today. From working on MarginFi, from the research arm, from it all,” Pavlovsky tweeted.

 I resigned from mrgn today. From working on marginfi, from the research arm, from it all. It's a world class team — it really is — but I don't agree with the way things have been done internally or externally.

Internal disputes and lack of organizational execution emerged as one of the major reasons behind Pavlovsky resignation. He was not satisfied with the way things had been done internally or externally for the Solana<a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2023/10/21/top-5-defi-projects-to-be-considered-as-investments-in-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> DeFi project.</a> Internal operational disagreements and personal reasons made Pavlovsky take the step.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In March, an Oracle issue in MarginFi’s price data sourcing infrastructure was encountered which failed the withdrawal request along with enhancement in the congestion at the Solana network.&nbsp;
The problem was encountered by the builder of the popular liquid staking service SolBlaze and addressed to MarginFi. However, the issue was left unmonitored and with no communication to SolBlaze, which affected the business relations as well as operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to DefiLlama data, Amid the disputes, users take out nearly $100 Million from the platform which is supposed to be the biggest-ever day of withdrawal on MarginFi.&nbsp; &nbsp; Pavlovsky’s exit threw MarginFi’s leadership into uncertainty and shocked the crypto community.
“All operations remain fully working and are unaffected by this departure”, MarginFi said in a tweet.&nbsp;
In addition to this, investors of MarginFi, tweeted on X to share their views on this exit.&nbsp;
“We will remain committed to the protocol and are not withdrawing anything”, said Kyle Samani, an investor in MarginFi, and managing partner at Multicoin Capital.&nbsp;&nbsp;
MacBrennan Peet, another co-founder of MarginFi could be a candidate for the position of CEO.&nbsp;
Additionally, Pavlovsky’s exit will not affect mtnDAO, a biannual month-long coworking event that is going to be hosted by MarginFi and Cypher in Salt Lake City. The statement was released by Barrett Williams, Cypher CEO and a close friend of Pavlovsky.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
MarginFi is a decentralized portfolio margining protocol that permits individuals to trade over the Solana blockchain. The protocol offers individuals a unified account access to the services and enhances capital efficiency, across different trading protocols.&nbsp;&nbsp;
