I’m Emilia Novak, Investigations & On-Chain Editor at CryptoProjects.org. I write for readers who want receipts—wallet trails, primary documents, and clear explanations of what can be proven versus what’s still uncertain. My specialty is on-chain reporting: tracing token movements, mapping contract behavior, and connecting blockchain data to real-world events without turning every anomaly into a conspiracy.
My background blends research, open-source intelligence, and editorial work across crypto and tech. I’ve spent years learning how to validate claims in an ecosystem where screenshots travel faster than facts. That means reading smart contracts and audit notes, checking governance proposals, following timelocks and admin keys, and understanding the practical ways teams, market makers, and attackers move funds. I care about methodology because in investigations, the process is part of the story.
At CryptoProjects.org, I lead deep dives into protocol incidents, exploits, treasury management, questionable token distributions, and governance conflicts. I’m strongest in translating technical evidence into readable narratives: I’ll show the on-chain steps, explain the assumptions, and highlight what would change my view. I also spend time building internal standards—how we cite block explorers, how we store evidence, and how we avoid overstating the certainty of an attribution.
When I’m not reporting, I’m usually in a block explorer, reading post-mortems, or building small internal tools to speed up verification. I believe crypto journalism should be tough, fair, and specific—and that good reporting makes the industry safer for everyone.
