Solana lender Solend's token and deposits jump as founder trashes rival MarginFi

Simultaneously, Solend's token rose by as much as 44% on Thursday before declining slightly to $1.57 as of 2:45 p.m. ET. according to The Block's price page .
"Saw a big surge in activity on solend yesterday," 0xRooter posted . Deposits on the DeFi protocol for lending and borrowing on the Solana blockchain rose to $18.6 million on Thursday, the highest daily inflow since 2022, according to DefiLlama .
In the past 24 hours, in what appears to be framed as a retaliation, 0xRooter has made some disparaging comments regarding MarginFi as the Solana-based DeFi protocol was shaken by the departure of its founder amid internal disagreements.
"Last July, MarginFi attempted to blackball Solend with peers, which we found out through backchannels. They spread falsehoods," 0xRooter said on Wednesday . "MarginFi constantly bad-mouthed and farmed engagement with threads criticizing Solend."
According to DefiLlama , MarginFi has seen net outflows worth $194 million amid creator Edgar Pavlovsky’s resignation. The DeFi protocol's total value locked also dropped to $479.8 million, compared to $687.4 million on Tuesday and $811.1 million on April 1.
Pavlovsky’s publicly resigned hours after Solana liquid staking protocol SolBlaze posted accusations, claiming MarginFi had acted in bad faith by not distributing tokens allocated to users per SolBlaze’s depositor reward guidelines.
