Most wallets leak a fingerprint.

On-chain circadian patterns, reaction speed, tx structure, and links reveal bots, humans, and timezones.

We built GATOR, an on-chain OSINT analyzer using public data.

2025 was an unbelievable year, I'm so thankful for all the opportunities I was fortunate enough to capitalize on.

2026 is shaping up to be even better.

[Dalhousie Blockchain Society @dalbcs]

We would like to thank @MessariCrypto for inviting us to their enterprise account for the year of 2026

[Ashar Belanger @AsharBelanger]

Another amazing year @MBC_Conference 2025. This year I had the opportunity to participate on a much greater level and work with some incredible people, I:

- Hosted and judged the Franklin Templeton Research Competition
- Moderated a panel speaking about the entire past year in crypto
- Brought out 8 students to represent @dalbcs

----------------------------------------------------------

First off, huge thanks to @Evanzsolomon for reaching out to me to run the competition. It was an amazing opportunity to work along side Christopher Jensen from Franklin Templeton to put it together.

Thankfully Evan already had an insane panel of judges consisting of:

Christopher Jensen from @FTDA_US
@brezshares from @nolimithodl
@aryonchain from @CMT_Digital
@zackrosenblatt_ from @Collab_Currency
@0xpampa from @artemis

In total we received 70+ submissions from 150 students across 40 universities. Out of them, we had 3 track winners and 1 overall champion. You can check out the winners here: https://t.co/lP5nY0kDJu

----------------------------------------------------------

As for the panel, I chatted with:

@pchopra28 from @BainCapCrypto
@nickjmatt from @standardcrypto
@samiam2194 from @CMT_Digital

We were tasked with macro outlook on 2025 and how we expected this year's events to affect 2026. As expected, our conversation was focused around stable coins, regulations, $HYPE, $PUMP, and more.

----------------------------------------------------------

Finally, this was my last year at MBC as a club president. Due to my upcoming graduation next spring I am passing off @dalbcs to the capable hands of @CDraper22448 and @Mitchellhaydar7.

This conference was the perfect opportunity to build their own connections within the industry and to other clubs around the world.

In addition to the incoming presidents we had @Maxhowe588, @rittuvik, @MatthewSullivn, @darren_deepak17, @ahmad7abdallah, and Abinav.

Everyone either competed in the Research Competition or the Hackathon and put together high quality submissions.

I'm incredibly proud of how well everyone performed at their first crypto conference. After this weekend, I'm confident that the club will be in good hands.

----------------------------------------------------------

All in all, this weekend wasn't just productive, it was so much fun. Once again massive thank you to the team that made it happen: @Evanzsolomon @redempshawne @EzvenG @reva_jariwala

See you all next year!
