Snapshot: block 3,477,382.
Ranks 1, 4 and 16 are one holder. 47 addresses, one signer, 1,074,048 $ZEC.
Three of those addresses are paid out of the coinbase in every single block — 7,383 out of 7,383 in our window. No miner wins every block.
They're dev fund addresses, written into consensus.
That signer shields 4,108 of its 4,309 spends.

The viral version got four things wrong.
The drainer has zero rows on Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and BNB. It stopped on 8 Sep at 20:54 UTC. The median wallet lost $26, not hundreds. And the 252 ETH still hasn't moved.
Every number re-derived from our own index:

On 7 September a wallet with no history started emptying dormant Ethereum wallets.
It ran for 31 hours and cleaned out 2,442 of them.
We went looking for what those wallets had in common.
277 of the 557 wallets that ever paid LootBot on chain are in the set. Half the customer base.
The wallets share a birthday.
In June 2023, six of them had been funded. In July, 608 were.
We ran the same test on wallets already known to be LootBot's. Same wall in the summer of 2023, same decay through 2024. The paying ones peak a month later, which is the order you get when the wallet is made first and the fee paid after.
LootBot's own docs say it stores user private keys.
Every fee the XRP Ledger has charged in 13 years adds up to about $7.6M. No one collects it, because XRPL burns fees rather than paying validators.

Since 2013 the XRP Ledger has settled 5,060,515,108 transactions, more than Ethereum has.
Last month, 793 accounts sent 93.2% of them.
We sorted all 793 by what they actually do. 767 are machines. 26 are exchange wallets. 📊
On 23 August someone started spraying this into XRPL wallets:
"Incoming Escrow for 259.37 XRP Expires Soon. Finalize Escrow via https://t.co/BnKUU9sqeB"
In 17 days it reached 1,280,036 wallets, run from about seven accounts. The fees came to 69.6 ripple:native. Roughly $96.

Full piece: six hook families read straight off their addresses, who actually earns, what it costs traders, and every query behind it.

A Uniswap v4 pool on Robinhood Chain shows a 0% fee.
You swap $50. The pool charges you nothing, exactly as advertised.
A contract bolted to that pool then takes about 1% on the way out.
Your trade record never mentions it.
We measured it across 94,053 transactions.
What hooks cost you beyond the fee:
afterSwap adds a median 40,075 gas, roughly a third again on top of the swap itself.
beforeSwap refuses 1.17% of trades outright. A pool with liquidity that simply says no. There is no equivalent in v2 or v3.
