Excited to share my second market manipulation research at Chainalysis! This year, we expanded our study to include ERC-20 and BEP-20 wash trading on Ethereum, BSC, and Base, while also refining our pump-and-dump heuristics.

COO dream?
Check yourself: Supporting a vision & leading with humility is key. Ego wait for the CEO chair (if that's your path).

Not every company needs a COO, but it's a powerful role when:

- Big changes are planned: Turnarounds, expansions, etc.
- Young CEO needs mentoring
- COO complements the CEO: industry knowledge, etc.
- CEO needs a successor

6. Relying solely on the ‘to’ contract to calculate project gas fee volume
A single transaction involves multiple projects, so this method may not reflect the usage of certain projects that are frequently used in internal transactions, such as MakerDAO or Curve
