Major Altcoin Projects Fund On-Chain Investigator: Hyperliquid Joins Optimism, Arbitrum and BNB Chain

Interesting example of the crypto ecosystem funding its own watchdogs.

The [Hyperliquid](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hyperliquid/) Foundation recently donated **10,000 HYPE tokens** to independent on-chain investigator **ZachXBT**, worth roughly **$254,000** at current prices. This makes Hyperliquid his **second-largest donor to date**, right after Optimism.

ZachXBT publicly confirmed the donation and shared an updated list of his top supporters. His all-time top 10 donors now look like this:

1. Optimism
2. Hyperliquid
3. Octant
4. The White Whale
5. Arbitrum
6. BNB Chain
7. Unipcs
8. Nouns
9. CL207
10. High Stakes Capital

For those who don’t follow him, ZachXBT has been one of the most impactful independent researchers in crypto — tracking hacks, scams, rug pulls and stolen funds through on-chain analysis. A lot of major cases in recent years were uncovered thanks to his work.

This kind of funding is becoming an important trend: instead of relying only on exchanges or law enforcement, the industry is directly supporting independent investigators who help keep the space cleaner and safer.

Do you think more projects should allocate part of their treasuries to fund public-good security research like this?
