A reusable source route has been identified. Its claims still need to be converted into reconciled paid-capital events before ranking.

No amount, giving rate, or global position is inferred from this record. Missing ranked data means the publication gates have not been met; it does not mean zero giving.
What is currently resolved.
Map placement uses confirmed citizenship. It is a navigation aid, not a claim about where philanthropic money originates or lands.

Where the lead begins.
The configuration and source registration are validated during the pipeline run. That does not mean every external page publishes new data nightly.
Reviewed organisational links.
A vehicle link establishes an entity relationship only. The vehicle's spending is not automatically attributed to this person.
| Vehicle | Registry / ID | Reviewed relationship | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BLOCKCHAIN CHARITY FOUNDATION USA | US-EIN834414507 | Binance Charity identifies this exact US foundation as one of its two foundations and identifies Changpeng Zhao as one of several founding contributors who helped initiate the umbrella programme; the FY2024 Form 990 names a different president and does not identify Zhao or allocate a contribution or grant to him, so the vehicle's outflows cannot be treated as Zhao-personal capital | Verify → |
What must happen before ranking.
The leaderboard ranks verified payments to independent recipients within the common FY2020–FY2024 score window. Research prominence alone cannot alter it.
- 01
Resolve attribution. Confirm the person, payer, vehicles, and related-party boundary.
- 02
Acquire reusable evidence. Register access, rights, cadence, stable keys, and immutable source bytes.
- 03
Classify capital state. Keep pledges, controlled transfers, future balances, and paid external grants separate.
- 04
Reconcile the window. Build recipient-level or defensible aggregate events across the required fiscal years.
- 05
Validate any giving rate. Use only an approved, dated, individual wealth snapshot with source rights.
