We began our deep research into Ethereum when it became far to dangerous to participate in the ecosystem with any relevant % of my wealth. Fraud was running rampant in every Sector of the Ecosystem. Wallets, Layer 2's, Bridge's, Protocols across the board using ERC20 Standard, Stablecoins, Protocols selling NFT's, wrapped Tokens, CEX's, & DEX's, were all experiencing Thefts, Exploits, and Rugs. We didn't feel safe anywhere within the ecosystem and the risk of everything being taken from us felt very real and extremally high. We couldn't trust wraps, nor bridges, Cex's, nor Dex's.
Thefts, Rugs, and Exploits were normalized and pre-dominantly accepted. Many of Ethereums influencers pumped and dumped their holdings, while playing a part in normalizing the ill-willed behavior.
Who were these anon influencers? Why did Ethereum's biggest participants, the builders, & influencers not prioritize speaking out against them & doing something to stop them? People's entire savings and financial futures were literally being stolen, and the ones driving the future of the Protocol didn't seem to care.
From the very first day thru Today, they kept us busy spending the large majority of our time researching, deeply, Ethereum & the largest known fraud, exploits, thefts, rugs, & thugs associated with it, or built on Top. It's important that we share that with you because our Goal isn't to instigate or stir up the pot. Our goal has been to understand, educate, and hopefully help save what's been lost in Crypto: A fair, safe, transparent yet private way to take ownership over ones financial future; Permissionless transacting that offered more accessible opportunities than what exists in Today's current markets.
Once we began researching fraud as it happened, we began documenting and understanding more and more about what was going occurring, and who was participating. We found that many of the same people and locations were connected. Our database of Wallets and known Networks, having been created thru this research, is predominantly in one way or another, associated with the bad actors in this dystopian ecosystem.
This brings us to out last, most important point.
When we share our research, we do so having followed this process. Its guided in a deeper level of understanding than what we had prior to this deep level of research. Its meant to protect. If it seems targeted, its not our fault.
We didn't pick the names, nor locations, Agencies, On or Off Chain Governments, nor Crypto Tokens behind our research. Our interest in a deeper Understanding, and desire to use our knowledge and understanding to help Crypto get back on track is what led us to these, here, today.
Always stay curious my Friends,
