How does it work?

Introduction

Crypto has always been built on decentralization – the idea that collective intelligence outperforms any individual effort. The same applies to investigations. Most crypto incidents are solved by multiple voices, each contributing a part of the story.

This is why we built the Intel Desk, a collaborative layer for investigations

When a crypto incident happens, such as a hack, insider activity, or a suspicious launch – we create a case page. Each case becomes a live feed of findings from on-chain detectives on Crypto Twitter (CT). Contributors are ranked by their impact, reach, and how they helped move the case forward.

Users can follow how the story unfolded, who found what, and how each thread connects. And for investigators, it means their work is recognized, stored, and surfaced – not buried in a timeline.

Which cases get investigated?

Crypto Twitter has always investigated major incidents in real time. The Intel Desk doesn’t change that. It simply helps direct that energy toward what matters most, using a two-way system.

First, users vote on the cases they care about. The more votes a case gets, the higher its multiplier. For example:

• A case with 80% of the votes gets a 8x multiplier

• A case with 20% gets a 2x multiplier

• A case with 5% gets a 1.05x multiplier

Then, investigators are ranked based on how much their tweets helped move the case forward. Each featured tweet earns points, based on its quality and reach. These points are multiplied by the case’s score, so contributions to high-voted cases count even more. This way, the most impactful work gets the visibility and recognition it deserves, while the community helps steer the focus.
