Audit log

Every state-changing event for 0x5a76a2830859c321a50937a22fde571fbf4810f3: moderation decisions on community submissions, plus corrections and updates from the news pipeline. URL-based decisions are designed to carry three independent witnesses — the original source, an Internet Archive snapshot, and a Solana memo signed by our publicly-disclosed publisher key. Archive coverage is still being backfilled, so each decision below reports its own snapshot status rather than assuming one exists.

The contract is implemented as an ERC1967 transparent upgradeable proxy, compiled with Solidity v0.8.24 and verified on Etherscan. It was deployed approximately August 5, 2026, by the externally owned account 0xa6943955b5c13990dF9481722E71B5ed1EAe1679, which Etherscan shows was funded via OKX: Hot Wallet 3 approximately 46 days prior. As of September 16, 2026, the contract has recorded 1,463 total transactions and holds 0 ETH. The underlying implementation contract is 0x1E3f32578c2c2f1b180d9D419e0996a642A49b69. A legacy V1 contract previously existed at 0x445d03F499f1C150615957bb87588fb465FC91cC. The proxy architecture means the contract logic can be upgraded by the controlling address without redeployment, which is a standard but notable capability that increases counterparty risk if governance controls are not disclosed.","heading":"Contract Identity and On-Chain Profile","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Etherscan — 0x5a76a2830859c321a50937a22fde571fbf4810f3 contract page","type":"on_chain","url":"https://etherscan.io/address/0x5a76a2830859c321a50937a22fde571fbf4810f3"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Binibit Labs documentation — BINI Token Overview","type":"official","url":"https://docs.binibit.com/bini-token/overview"},{"credibility":1,"name":"Etherscan — Deployer address 0xa6943955b5c13990dF9481722E71B5ed1EAe1679","type":"on_chain","url":"https://etherscan.io/address/0xa6943955b5c13990dF9481722E71B5ed1EAe1679"}]},{"content":"Binibit is a blockchain ecosystem whose core components include: a centralized cryptocurrency exchange (Binibit Exchange), a decentralized exchange with AI-managed liquidity pools (BaiDEX), an EVM-compatible Layer 1 network (BiniChain) with BINI as its native gas token, a token launchpad (AgentT Launchpad), an on-chain lottery with a deflationary burn mechanic, and a gamified mobile application (Bini App). The project describes a three-tier AI agent system — Queen, Scout, and Worker agents — managing liquidity and trading parameters on BaiDEX. BINI has a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens with no mint function beyond genesis. Token allocation per official documentation: 60% rewards (mining, staking, liquidity), 15% team and founders (four-year vesting), 10% marketing and partnerships, 10% ecosystem reserve, and 5% initial DEX liquidity. The company entity is Binibit S.A., registered in Panama City, Panama (registration number 155781130), with operational staff described as approximately 18 specialists across engineering, product, operations, design, and support, split between Thailand and Panama.","heading":"Project Overview: Binibit Ecosystem","severity":"low","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Binibit official website","type":"official","url":"https://binibit.com/en"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Binibit — About page (team and legal entity)","type":"official","url":"https://binibit.com/en/about"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Binibit Labs documentation — BINI Token Overview (tokenomics)","type":"official","url":"https://docs.binibit.com/bini-token/overview"},{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinCarp — Binibit Token project info and tokenomics","type":"research","url":"https://www.coincarp.com/currencies/binibit-token/project-info/"}]},{"content":"Binibit's public-facing materials describe a team of approximately 18 specialists but name no individual founders, executives, or technical leads. No CEO, CTO, or other named leadership is disclosed on the official website or in project documentation. The 15% team allocation (150 million BINI) with a stated four-year vesting schedule is described in tokenomics documentation, but the vesting mechanism is not independently audited or verifiable on-chain based on available sources. The absence of named leadership is a notable risk factor for a project operating a centralized exchange and holding customer funds. The company is incorporated in Panama, a jurisdiction that does not require detailed public disclosure of beneficial ownership for S.A. entities.","heading":"Team Anonymity and Governance Opacity","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Binibit — About page (team description)","type":"official","url":"https://binibit.com/en/about"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Binibit Labs documentation — BINI Token Overview","type":"official","url":"https://docs.binibit.com/bini-token/overview"}]},{"content":"No third-party security audit of the BINI token contract or the Binibit exchange platform was found in available sources as of September 2026. The official Binibit documentation does not reference any audit firm or published audit report. The ERC1967 proxy architecture, while a widely used standard, introduces upgrade risk if the proxy admin key is not protected by a multisig or timelock — neither of which is disclosed in available public materials. The contract source code is verified on Etherscan, which allows public inspection, but verification alone does not constitute a security audit. Prospective users should independently verify audit status before interacting with the contract or depositing funds on the exchange.","heading":"Security Audit Status","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":1,"name":"Etherscan — contract code (verified, no audit reference)","type":"on_chain","url":"https://etherscan.io/address/0x5a76a2830859c321a50937a22fde571fbf4810f3#code"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Binibit Labs documentation (no audit mention)","type":"official","url":"https://docs.binibit.com/bini-token/overview"}]},{"content":"BINI is listed on multiple data aggregators including CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and Coinbase price pages. As of mid-September 2026, the token trades at approximately $0.14–$0.35 across sources, with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $19,459. The most active trading pair is BINI/USDT on Azbit, with reported volume of approximately $567,585 in 24 hours. CoinMarketCap ranks BINI at approximately position 17,100 by market cap. Price data from LBank referenced an all-time high figure of $99.93, which appears inconsistent with figures from CoinGecko and Coinbase (which show an ATH in the $0.25–$0.50 range); the LBank figure may reflect a data anomaly or a prior version of the contract. The token has low liquidity overall and a very low market rank, consistent with an early-stage or niche project.","heading":"Market Data and Price History","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinGecko — Binibit (BINI) price page","type":"research","url":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/binibit"},{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinMarketCap — Binibit price page","type":"research","url":"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binibit/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"LBank — What Is BINIBIT","type":"other","url":"https://www.lbank.com/price/binibit/what-is"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Coinbase — Binibit price page","type":"research","url":"https://www.coinbase.com/price/binibit"}]},{"content":"Binibit has a very small number of reviews on Trustpilot (at least 2 as of September 2026). Available search result summaries indicate that at least one reviewer alleged their account was locked without explanation and they were unable to withdraw funds. This is a low-confidence finding given the small review sample size, and the specific reviews could not be independently verified due to access restrictions on Trustpilot. These complaints are consistent with patterns seen in exchange platforms that have operational or compliance issues but are not, on their own, sufficient to conclude fraudulent intent. No Better Business Bureau complaints, court filings, or regulatory actions against Binibit were found in available sources.","heading":"User Complaints and Platform Risk","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":3,"name":"Trustpilot — Binibit reviews (summary from search index)","type":"community_report","url":"https://www.trustpilot.com/review/binibit.com"}]},{"content":"No OFAC sanctions designations were found for this address or for Binibit S.A. in available sources.
