Evidence-led crypto dossiers

Evidence-led dossiers tracing family background, access to resources, and paths to wealth across the crypto industry.

Each dossier is available in both Simplified Chinese and English, with the same evidence grades, stable entity IDs, source links, and uncertainty notes.

Protocol creators are shown first in historical network order, followed by investors and other industry figures. The order is editorial, not a wealth or influence ranking.

The editorial sequence of currently published dossiers; it is not a market-cap, TVL, or influence ranking.

  • Stable entity IDs: people, networks, and articles remain linked across languages without relying on display names.
  • Dated ranking snapshots: market cap, TVL, and activity rankings can be preserved without overwriting history.
  • Bilingual coverage checks: every covered person and network must include both Chinese and English pages.
  • Evidence first: confirmed facts, reasonable inferences, disputed claims, and unverified stories are labeled separately.
