Hyperliquid Foundation makes a significant move—sending 10,000 HYPE tokens, worth approximately $254,000, to on-chain detective ZachXBT. This is the second-largest single donation ZachXBT has received to date, demonstrating the foundation’s recognition of his contributions.

ZachXBT has officially confirmed receipt of the donation and publicly listed the full names of the top ten donors. Interestingly, major players in the ecosystem have all participated—well-known projects like Optimism, Octant, The White Whale, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, and others are on the list, showing collective support for on-chain security detective work.

This funding incentive model actually reflects the Web3 community’s emphasis on transparency and security. ZachXBT has long been engaged in on-chain risk tracking and fraud exposure—work that may seem unremarkable but is crucial—helping investors identify risks and protect funds. The joint support from multiple ecosystems indicates that this has become an industry consensus need.

Wow, pouring 250,000 USD into an on-chain detective, the entire ecosystem is following suit. What does this imply?

254,000 USD? What kind of collateralization ratio would be needed to support such a large single donation outflow... Wait, I mean, the incentive model is quite interesting.

Damn, this guy is now living the good life, just $250,000 USD in his hands ZachXBT's work may seem unremarkable but is truly crucial. Without uncovering scams and fraudulent projects, we would all suffer heavy losses What does this joint support indicate... Has everyone finally realized that security is more valuable than hype? All ecosystems are funding sponsorships; the role of ecosystem security officer really needs to be made permanent Only the second highest... Who gave the first place? Could it be Vitalik? By the way, this crowdfunding-style incentive model is indeed more reliable than a single foundation throwing money around, at least in terms of transparency MrRightClick might need to learn from this guy's career planning

$250,000 invested in a detective, this ecosystem really takes security seriously --- Wait, is this the second highest? Who made the highest investment, how aggressive must they be --- Zach哥 made a killing this time, major ecosystems are all coming to give money, this is what you call a useful person --- On-chain anti-fraud detective finally recognized, much better than those projects that blow air every day --- This is the way Web3 should be, investing in people who actually do the work --- Looking at the top ten donors, they are indeed reputable projects, unlike some coins that donate their own tokens daily to boost hype --- I just want to know who is number one, definitely not Hyperliquid, right --- Honestly, this incentive mechanism is okay, encouraging more people to do risk tracking --- ZachXBT exposed so many major cases before, it feels a bit late now that he's finally recognized

Wow, throwing $250,000 at Zach, the ecosystems are serious about this Everyone is contributing, which shows that on-chain detective work is truly valued Zach has gained quite a bit this time, the second-highest donation This is the kind of Web3 that should be, supporting each other and ensuring security But I'm wondering, will rug projects in the future also want to spend money on PR... A bunch of major projects gathering together, what are they trying to do? Really, only when someone keeps an eye on the trash on the chain can we sleep peacefully Zach's reputation is getting stronger and stronger, he's becoming a benchmark in the industry
