Ethena Growth Head: Indeed a co-founder of OnlyFans, may share more details in the future

ChainCatcher news, Seraphim Czecker, Head of Growth at Ethena Labs, posted on social media saying, """I am a co-founder of OnlyFans. I have never publicly talked about this, and to my knowledge, no one else has either. But it is true.

I was already working on implementing OnlyFans before Leonid Radvinsky (the major shareholder of OnlyFans) came along. When he told me he believed he was the best person in the world to do this, I agreed. His skill set is unique—he is both a visionary and has a deep understanding of webcam technology, and he is passionate about empowering adult creators, which makes him the perfect person for the job. He is a true builder.

After launch, development progressed slowly. Sometimes, I would randomly create some model profiles to create the illusion of more interest, hoping to inspire the community. Leonid would ask me if I did it, and I would lie and say no.

Then, it exploded—suddenly, the whole world started to care about it. The pressure of that attention was overwhelming, but it was also an incredible experience that fundamentally changed my life, bringing both good and bad.

I left in March 2019. Maybe one day I will share more details; I just needed to get these feelings off my chest."
