ChainCatcher news, MakerDAO's former technical partner, DAI architect, and Balancer co-founder Nikolai Muchgian was found drowned at Condado beach in Puerto Rico, at the age of 29. Tether founder Craig Sellars and 21stParadigm co-founder Dylan Leclair have confirmed this news on Twitter and expressed their condolences.

It is reported that Nikolai returned to social media in April this year and posted some information about U.S. law enforcement three days before his death, stating that he was facing threats. Nikolai was the CEO of DappHub and a renowned security researcher. He was also involved in the initial architectural design of the Maker/Dai contract system and created the Balancer AMM. Nikolai had previously prevented MakerDAO from experiencing an attack similar to The DAO. (Trustnodes)
