Key Highlights
- ZachXBT published claims that Axiom employees used internal tools to connect users to private wallets and track trading activity.
- The thread named Axiom employee Broox Bauer and included screenshots and audio clips that ZachXBT says support the allegations.
- Axiom told ZachXBT it was “surprised and disappointed” and said access to the internal lookup tools was removed.
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT published a detailed report on February 26 alleging that internal tools at crypto trading platform Axiom Exchange were used by an employee to monitor traders and identify private wallet activity.
The investigation alleges that internal dashboards allowed account identifiers, including referral codes, user IDs, and registrations, to be linked directly with blockchain wallet addresses. According to ZachXBT, this visibility enabled monitoring of trading behavior beyond publicly observable on-chain data.
The investigator stated the findings were based on collected screenshots, chat messages, recorded calls, and wallet analysis gathered during a multi-month review.
Employee named in report
The investigation specifically named Broox Bauer, known on X as @WheresBroox, described as a senior business development employee at Axiom during the period referenced.
ZachXBT alleged Bauer accessed internal lookup systems capable of resolving trader identities and associated wallets. Screenshots shared in the thread were presented as showing internal dashboard panels displaying user-linked wallet information.
The report also referenced discussions involving a recently hired platform moderator who was allegedly mentioned in conversations about internal access capabilities, though the moderator was not heard speaking in the shared recordings.
Screenshots show alleged internal wallet lookups
Material published alongside the investigation included images described as internal Axiom dashboard views.
According to ZachXBT, an April 2025 screenshot allegedly showed private wallet information connected to a trader identified as “Jerry.” An August 2025 image allegedly displayed registration data linked to wallets associated with another trader identified as “Monix.”
The crypto sleuth also claimed these tools enabled employees to determine wallet ownership even when traders attempted to keep addresses private.
Spreadsheet compiled to track traders
ZachXBT shared a spreadsheet that compiled wallet addresses belonging to multiple traders and crypto influencers.
The document appeared to list usernames alongside wallet addresses and notes tied to trading behavior. The investigator alleged the information was gathered using internal dashboard lookups and later organized to monitor positions and activity across markets.
Several individuals listed were contacted during the investigation, according to the thread, and confirmed interactions referenced in the material.
Wallet graph analysis linked related addresses
Additional screenshots showed a blockchain address relationship graph mapping multiple wallets together. ZachXBT claimed a primary wallet connected to Bauer was identified through private communications and then expanded into a broader cluster of related addresses.
The mapping was presented as evidence that trading behavior could be tracked across multiple wallets once internal identification tools were used.
Recorded February 2026 call
A recorded call dated February 2026 was included in the investigation. In the audio, an individual identified by ZachXBT as Bauer allegedly discussed the ability to track users through internal systems using referral codes or wallet data.
ZachXBT further alleged the conversation included a discussion of helping an associate generate roughly $200,000 in profits using informational advantages derived from internal access.
Meme-coin traders highlighted
The investigation stated that traders active in meme-coin markets were among those monitored, particularly participants accumulating token supply through private wallets before promotional activity.
ZachXBT argued that such strategies are difficult to track publicly, making internal account-to-wallet visibility especially sensitive if accessed improperly.
Axiom response
According to a statement shared by ZachXBT, Axiom said it was “surprised and disappointed” by the allegations and removed employee access to the internal lookup tools referenced in the report.
However, the company has not publicly confirmed wrongdoing, and no regulatory investigation has been announced as of publication.
