Summary of the ZachXBT Meme Token Incident ZachXBT, a well-known "on-chain detective," is respected for uncovering scams and helping protocols recover stolen funds. Initially starting as a hobby, his work eventually became a professional endeavor. Recently, Zach expressed frustration over the lack of fair compensation for his efforts, which led to a unique fundraising initiative. A meme token, $ZachXBT, was launched, with 50% of the tokens allocated to Zach as a form of donation. Investors hoped the token's price increase would serve as compensation for his contributions. This initiative was reminiscent of $SHIBA’s allocation to Vitalik Buterin, though with a different outcome.

Zach used the token allocation to provide Single-Sided LP (liquidity provision) on a decentralized exchange. This meant that as $ZachXBT tokens were sold, Solana (SOL) accumulated in the LP. When the token price surged, Zach removed all liquidity, effectively cashing out significant SOL, sparking debate within the crypto community. Critics labeled it an LP rug pull, arguing that someone fighting scams shouldn’t engage in such practices. Supporters countered that the token was meant as a donation, and Zach acted within his rights. Ultimately, Zach gained substantial SOL, leaving the community divided on whether his actions were justified or exploitative. Was this a legitimate form of compensation, or should it be seen as a breach of trust?

I think this is really disappointing. I haven't consumed Zach's content at all, but I'm a huge fan of Coffeezilla who has worked with Zach a few times. I think this was exploitive. Zach grabbed a big payday without regard for his supporters and fans. I'm much more of a fan of the StokeFire tokenomics model where a percentage of the LP fees act as the donation, not the actual tokens themselves.
