$254,000 invested in security research, Hyper is playing quite aggressively --- ZachXBT received funding again, this time from a large Hyper deal --- Second place? It shows real money is being poured in, not just verbal support --- In the ecosystem donor list, Optimism isn't even ahead of Hyper, they must be very generous --- Everyone is competing for on-chain security influence, wallets decide everything --- 10,000 HYPE can make it to trending searches, marketing effect is maximized

Zach, this guy is really in high demand; major public chains are all sending him money. Hyperliquid's move makes sense; security research is a long-term investment. Wait, second place? Who is first? Now that's the interesting part. The transparency of donations is quite good, at least more reliable than some projects. A $254,000 investment in security, much more cost-effective than spending on marketing.

25.4K dollars invested in ZachXBT, ranking second, which is truly impressive. It seems HYPE is willing to spend quite a bit on security audits. Arbitrum and Optimism are also on the list. The ecosystems are in a arms race. ZachXBT has now become the "gold medal commentator" for Web3 security, with major project teams coming to flatter him. But to be honest, compared to investing money to support research, some projects just run away... ironic. For HYPE to become popular, it has to rely on solid on-chain data to speak for itself.

What, again spending money to buy goodwill? I can see through this trick with my eyes closed. --- ZachXBT is sitting counting money, everyone is scrambling to send him tokens. Is this what you call on-chain transparency? I only see transparency in spending money. --- What’s the use of being second place? Isn’t it just the leeks paying to support these analysts? --- One question—spending 25,400 yuan, can it bring real security testing or is it just a PR stunt? --- Not to hype or criticize, but this hype operation is truly clever. Spending money to hire people to say good things is the lowest cost. --- The ecosystem donation list is exposed. Have you all seen clearly? This is big money cutting retail investors first, then cutting the media.

Zach really has a lot of influence now, everyone is coming to support him. --- Hype's recent move truly supports chain security from the bottom of my heart, much better than those who just shout slogans. --- Ranked second, it seems hyperliquid really has that intention. --- Wait, why didn't I see Solana in the top ten... --- With the funds in place, a thriving ecosystem will naturally follow, it's that simple. --- It feels like ecosystem competition is getting more intense, everyone has to spend money to maintain relationships. --- Zach has really made a name for himself now, he's become the main figure that all chains want to support. --- I just want to know if hype will continue to invest money in the future.

Damn, HyperLiquid's move is brilliant, throwing 250,000 dollars at ZachXBT just to boost security hype, and they're still ranked second... Real money supporting on-chain transparency is much more reliable than those who just shout slogans. Wait, Arbitrum and BNB are both on the list, are they competing against each other? Haha. HyperLiquid's donation strategy is awesome, directly locking in the most influential analysts, upgrading the ecosystem game. But honestly, these days anyone who spends money on security researchers should be recognized, other chains should learn from this. ZachXBT can now safely dig up dirt, with a big sponsor backing him.

Zach, this guy really knows how to do it. Now even security research can get sponsorships. Hyperliquid's approach is absolutely clever—spending money to buy reputation, with the second place just barely holding on. It's both Arbitrum and Optimism—these big players are all burning money to抢话语权. Basically, whoever is willing to spend money can make it to the trending list. The transparency research spiel is just talk. But to be fair, Zach does have some skills; otherwise, this group of L1s wouldn't all be willing to open their wallets.
