On February 21st, in response to the official release of 1inch.exchange, an article detailing the contact process with the bZx team, bZx co-founder Kyle Joseph Kistner commented on Twitter that the 1inch team threatened them with their response. However, 1inch responded immediately that they did not threaten: "Man, we just said that you should not disclose our photo and name on the screenshot, otherwise we have a way to stop it."
