On the morning of February 22, Pacman, the anonymous founder of the popular NFT trading market Blur, officially disclosed his identity on Twitter.

Pacman said,He dropped out of high school, joined the well-known startup incubator Y Combinator at the age of 17, and then studied mathematics and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received a Thiel scholarship created by billionaire Peter Thiel, and then created a company called Namebase. and sold it to Namecheap.

Pacman said that when he created Blur in 401 days, he considered whether to use real identity or anonymity, and discussed this issue with Anish Agnihotri of Polychain Capital. No" convinced him, and he finally decided to remain anonymous.

Pacman added that he enjoys the process of anonymous development, but in order to better build a trust relationship, he does not shy away from communicating with others with his real identity in private calls, as Franklin, a major NFT player, can prove.

However, although Pacman released his personal resume, he did not directly disclose the real name of the individual. In this regard, Pacman explained that the name "Pacman" is synonymous with identity, which is easier to pronounce than his real name (an important clue), so he will continue to call himself Pacman and use his avatar to participate in community video conferences.

Although Pacman did not state his real name, the information he gave was enough for us to find out more information.

As mentioned earlier, Pacman mentioned that he started a company called Namebase and sold it to Namecheap. According to Crunchbase's database, Odaily found this company's information easily. It is worth mentioning that we also found Paradigm, the leading investor of Blur, in the company's investor list.

And through the founder information of Namebase, we have located a person named Tieshun Roquerre (Tieshun??? It is quite difficult to read...), and we can also see more matching information from the attached Linkedin interface.

After searching for Tieshun Roquerre on Twitter, we can find a user named Tieshun/ (@TieshunR), from the user's resume introduction, Y Combinator participant, MIT, Thiel Scholarship, Namebase founder... This information is also fully consistent with Pacman's disclosure.

And through Instagram, another social media platform, we can also find a user named "tieshunr". Judging from the photos disclosed by this user, they are basically consistent with Pacman's explosive photos.

And from Tieshun Roquerre attached to Instagrampersonal websiteOn the Internet, we can also see that he also founded a company anonymously in 2022. Although no more information has been disclosed, we can boldly guess that this refers to Blur.

At this point, we can basically confirm that Pacman's real name is Tieshun Roquerre.
