The zkSync ecosystem DeFi protocol Phezzan Protocol announced that it will be taken over by a new team. Founders Roland and Jack voluntarily withdrew due to family reasons. The new team will assume the management role of the project and plans to conduct ID0 as soon as possible to solve working capital problems.

In early 2023, Roland and Jack received investments totaling more than $1 million from well-known VCs including Delphi and Cogitent. However, the entire amount was returned because they believed that this approach went against their community-oriented ideals.
