“Sherlock Holmes of the crypto world”ZachXBT is probably the most well-known crypto detective on Twitter. He investigates hacks and scams involving massive amounts of money. He doesn’t post often, but every post is straight to the point: transaction hashes, money flow charts, screenshots. No fluff. After his tweets, victims and the community add more details, turning investigations into a collective effort. He’s respected across the industry: cited by the media, collaborating with exchanges and law enforcement, and supported by community donations. Genesis Hack ($243M) – helped trace and recover stolen BTC, leading to arrests. Bitcoin Scam ($91M) – one of the biggest thefts from a single victim in recent years. North Korean developer network ($16M) – uncovered hundreds of fake accounts funneling money to the DPRK. Influencers – exposed a list of 160+ bloggers being paid tens of thousands for undisclosed promotions. ZachXBT is someone the whole crypto industry looks to. His tweets often come out before official project statements. If he posts “Update:”, it means everyone will be talking about it. ZachXBT is a must-follow for anyone involved in crypto.

“Legend”One of the most trusted people at the web3, real OG, real detective and real hustler. And he is still not on ethos and has green rank. So much weight he has

“Exemplifies what this platform is about”Zach consistently investigates big hacks and scammy projects/founders. Even though sometimes his findings lead to trouble for himself (e.g.- machi), Zach is someone who prioritizes doing the right thing over personal comfort. He is the last bastion of accountability in the space.

“The Robinhood of crypto.”Someone who exposes scammers, hacks or fake hacks (often fake hack news made up by teams), bringing countless things to light. unlike most people, he uses his own unique methods to present everything transparntly, with proof, and accurately to the community and he does it all for free. Zach is definitely a great person.
