Ethereum L2 Eclipse CEO steps back amid sexual misconduct claims
Eclipse founder and CEO Neel Somani said he would “work to clear my name and defend myself” and will move away from a public-facing role at the firm.
Ethereum layer 2 blockchain Eclipse founder and CEO Neel Somani says he is “temporarily reducing” his role as a “public face” for the firm as he faces sexual misconduct allegations.
“Serious allegations have been made against me on Twitter in the last week. These allegations are false,” Somani wrote in a May 9 X post. “Serious allegations about sexual misconduct warrant a serious and thoughtful response.”
He added he “never sexually assaulted or harassed any woman” and would “work to clear my name and defend myself.”
