The crypto industry’s personal investigator, ZachXBT, has accepted a consulting position at Paradigm, a crypto investment company focused on research.
ZachXBT, who transitioned into an on-chain detective after experiencing fraud firsthand, verified the announcement on X, mentioning that he will advise on incident response and collaborate with firms within the crypto venture company’s portfolio.
The anonymous on-chain investigator emphasized that joining Paradigm will not alter his objective: examining and resolving offenses linked to blockchain technology. He views it as a means to continue assisting the community and sharing his discoveries, emphasizing Paradigm’s efforts to the sector, such as financing security projects and open-source research.
“It represented a straightforward choice since it enables me to remain independent to proceed with supporting the community and releasing investigations. I’ve always possessed considerable admiration for how Paradigm contributes back to the space by funding initiatives like the Security Alliance, publishing open source research, and aiding in maintaining privacy.” Toncoin (TON) Value Forecast for March 26th

His focus will not change; we simply desire to support him in continuing to perform this excellent work.”
