According to Pacman, during the 401 days he spent creating Blur, he contemplated whether to reveal his true identity or remain anonymous. He sought the opinion of Anish Agnihotri from Polychain Capital on this matter, but ultimately, the advice “It didn’t work” swayed his decision, and he opted for anonymity.

Despite preferring to remain anonymous during the development process, Pacman disclosed that he is not averse to using his real identity during private conversations to foster trust with others. Franklin, a significant player in the NFT space, can attest to this.

Despite releasing his resume, Pacman chose not to disclose his real name. He explained that the name “Pacman” is his identity and is easier to pronounce than his actual name, which is a significant clue. Therefore, he plans to continue using the name and an avatar when participating in community video conferences.

Although Pacman didn’t reveal his real name, the information provided was sufficient for researchers to uncover more details. For example, Pacman mentioned that he started a company called Namebase, which he sold to Namecheap.

Jumping into the website, Coincu found one person with the nickname Tieshun Roquerre who represents the founder of Namebase.

By conducting a Twitter search for Tieshun Roquerre, Coincu discovered a user with the handle Tieshun/ (@TieshunR) whose resume includes participation in Y Combinator, attendance at MIT, being a Thiel Scholarship recipient, and founding Namebase. This information matches precisely with the details disclosed by Pacman.

A TLDR about me. Before working on Blur, I:

– Dropped out of high school to go through Y Combinator at 17

– Studied Math with Computer Science at MIT

– Received the Thiel Fellowship to leave MIT and start Namebase

– Sold Namebase to Namecheap
