【Blockchain Rhythm】Hyperliquid Foundation has recently made a big move. On January 18th, they donated 10,000 HYPE tokens to on-chain detective ZachXBT, which was worth approximately $254,000 based on the exchange rate at the time. This donation ranks second in ZachXBT’s historical donations and is quite significant.

ZachXBT quickly publicly confirmed the donation and compiled a complete list of the top ten donors. The list includes many heavyweight players in the ecosystem—major public chains like Optimism, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain are among them, as well as well-known projects like Octant, Unipcs, and Nouns, along with support from professional organizations such as The White Whale and High Stakes Capital.

This type of donation model is becoming increasingly common in the Web3 community, with many projects supporting community members and analysts who contribute to the ecosystem through this approach.

HL really can't hold it anymore, spending 254,000 just to keep Zach digging up dirt? Laughing to death --- This guy is now an essential part of the ecosystem, even the top public chains have to queue up to worship him --- The second largest donation... then who is the first? Is this ranking worth anything? --- Pouring money into on-chain detectives for defense? Or did Zach really find something? HL is so urgent --- With so many sponsors around one person in the ecosystem, can it be managed well? --- 10,000 hype only equals 25.4, is the price so disappointing? --- Alright, since optimism and others are all here, it shows Zach really has some water in him --- This move to buy momentum is truly brilliant, turning into a public opinion leader through sheer force

Zach, this kid is really a money-making machine. You can get it done with just 250,000. This ratio is still the second largest. Hyperliquid really seems to be generous.

Why is Zach such a hot commodity? Even HL has to spend money.. But on the other hand, the HL Foundation's move this time is quite clever; their way of shaping public opinion is very straightforward, haha.

Is this real... A $250,000 investment in on-chain detective work, Hyperliquid—is this buying public opinion or genuine recognition? Zach, this guy, is now a hot commodity, supported by major ecosystems. But on the other hand, being the second largest donation in history also shows there's something there. I'm actually more curious about who made the number one donation. Let me see the list. Is this operation hinting at something? It feels a bit interesting. Just wondering if Zach might be biased because of this money.
