According to COINOTAG on August 28, “on-chain detective” ZachXBT disclosed via a post that he had previously assisted in resolving a theft linked to an XRP ledger vulnerability, but that he will no longer offer support to that ecosystem. His statement was framed as a withdrawal of voluntary on-chain forensic assistance.
In outlining his decision, ZachXBT characterized the broader XRP community as providing limited systemic value and functioning primarily as exit liquidity for insiders, a critique focused on capital flows and stakeholder incentives rather than technical specifics. The post emphasized concerns around market integrity and the allocation of voluntary security resources.
He further indicated that this assessment extends to projects such as Cardano, Pulsechain, and Hedera, remarks that may prompt renewed discussion on governance, reputational risk, and the role of independent forensic contributors in protocol ecosystems.
