AI trading system NoFx erupts in equity and open source disputes, with project parties, parties, and incubator Amber. ac responding one after another
BlockBeats news, on December 22nd, Tinkle, the developer of the open-source AI trading system NoFx, released a statement yesterday regarding the community controversy caused by Zack, an early participant in the project. Zack joined the project on October 29, 2025 after it was open sourced and only participated for about 14 days, contributing a small amount of code. He then proposed to demand 50% equity on the condition of recommending Amber to participate in commercialization. After being rejected, he withheld the project's Twitter account and demanded 500000 USDT through a lawyer's letter. At the same time, he released false information on multiple channels. Tinkle stated that all relevant records can be verified, and the team will no longer respond to personal disputes and focus on product development.
Zack issued a statement refuting this, stating that the allegations were seriously untrue and damaged his personal reputation. The lawyer's letter was issued by a law firm, and the evidence has been preserved by the lawyer. The claims are legal and compliant. If the dispute cannot be resolved through legal channels, the complete video, audio, chat records, timeline and other evidence will be made public.
The official X account of NoFx subsequently released an open letter stating that recent discussions regarding community members, code usage boundaries, and intellectual property have been handed over to a professional legal team for unified handling. It denies rumors of financing or interest transfer and emphasizes that NoFx is an open-source project driven by the community rather than a commercial company. The team also reiterated that the project adopts AGPL-3.0 license and will uphold open source standards and contributor rights in accordance with the law. In the future, it will return to the project itself and focus on building an AI Trading OS that supports self hosting and multi trading platform access.
In addition, Amber Group's ecosystem accelerator amber.ac has also issued a statement, clearly stating that as of now, there is no formal incubation, investment or commercial cooperation relationship with the NoFx project, and the two sides have only had open industry exchanges. It calls on all parties to return to technical and rational communication and promote the healthy development of the ecosystem.
