Special thanks to @zachxbt ,@tayvano_ , @chiachih_wu, @Bitrace_team , @SlowMist_Team and all individuals and teams who provided help from the very beginning.
Zach and Tay helped track and push through the freezing of approximately $1.2 million in related assets. The team is working on the claim, and we will deliver on our promises once recovery is complete.
No one can do this alone. But with the right people, the right tools, and enough persistence, what once seemed impossible starts to become possible.
Justice may be slow, but it doesn't expire. Neither does the blockchain.
In November 2022, my personal wallet was compromised, resulting in a loss of approximately $42 million.
Three years have passed. The investigation has never stopped. Our team has continued to gather critical evidence and leads. The flow of the stolen assets is becoming increasingly clear.
Today, I am publicly offering a bounty for asset recovery. Any individual or organization that makes a substantive contribution to asset recovery — regardless of identity, background, or method — will receive 10%–20% of the total recovered amount, based on the level of contribution.

Three years ago, on-chain tracking and security investigation tools were far less capable than today. AI-powered data analysis, on-chain forensics, and cross-platform collaboration have since made a qualitative leap.
This is not just about recovering assets. It is about opening a real case to the community, inviting collaboration, and seeing how far the tools of the AI era can push what was once impossible.
Never let a good crisis go to waste. The question is whether we choose to use the best tools available to solve the real world problem.

What if fundraising didn’t need founders?
What if communities were built, managed, and grown by autonomous agents?

Why AICOs > ICOs?
✅No founder rugging

@EvgenyGaevoy@VitalikButerin Right, you don’t have to. I think vitalik wants to empower L2s driven by institutions that are more suitable for usages meeting individuals’ needs.
