On-chain detective ZachXBT announced that he will no longer conduct pro bono investigations, seeking fair compensation for his work. Since 2021, ZachXBT has publicly released over 150 investigations and is potentially working on over 250 cases, with more than 95% of his efforts being unpaid. He estimates his theoretical income could range from $750,000 to $1.5 million, based on a commission of $5,000-10,000 per case. His investigations have successfully helped recover over $300 million. ZachXBT emphasized the need for reasonable compensation moving forward.
