Audit log

Every state-changing event for 0xdF8C3A7FFbdC144f462687120E4AE4C4e5E55abE: 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.

   Score: 50 → 50 (no score change)
   The page's core factual claims -- that the address is an unused Ethereum EOA with zero balance, zero transaction count, no OFAC sanction match, no abuse reports, no regulatory filings, and no public entity attribution -- were independently re-verified via direct JSON-RPC calls, the Ethplorer public API, the live OFAC sanctions list, and SEC EDGAR full-text search, and all matched the page's description as of the review date. Critically, the page does not attribute the address to any named person, group, or campaign, and no such attribution could be found anywhere in public search, so the specific false-attribution risk flagged for this review was not found. One minor supporting detail (the '33+ chains' figure for Etherscan's portfolio tool) is an approximation that could not be precisely pinned down, and one minor detail (absence of an ENS reverse record) could not be independently confirmed with the tools available.

   Score: 50 → 50 (no score change)
   The reviewer's claim_findings array contains 12 entries (the review's own summary block undercounts by one, but the array itself is complete): 10 confirmed, 1 partially_supported, 1 unverifiable, 0 disputed. Per the disputed_pct formula (disputed + unverifiable) / total, that is 1/12, about 8.3%, which falls in the approve band regardless of whether the summary's stated total of 11 or the array's actual total of 12 is used. Every core factual claim -- zero balance, zero transaction count, EOA status, no OFAC match, no ChainAbuse reports, no SEC/DOJ hits -- was independently re-verified by the reviewer via direct RPC calls, the live OFAC list, and SEC EDGAR full-text search, and all held (claim_findings[0], [2], [4], [6], [7]). Most importantly, the page's attribution section was checked specifically for false or premature attribution to a named party, and none exists: claim_findings[8] confirms the page correctly states no named exchange, protocol, fund, or individual is linked to this address, and independent search corroborated that no such attribution exists anywhere publicly. That is the single highest-stakes risk category for a bare-address page, and it is clean. The two non-confirmed items are minor and non-substantive: claim_findings[3] flags an approximate '33+ chains' figure versus sources describing '30+', a low-materiality supporting detail; claim_findings[9] on the absence of an ENS name is unverifiable because the reviewer's lookup tool returned an inconclusive empty response, which reads as a limitation of the review's tooling rather than a defect in the page's claim. No high-priority coverage gaps were reported. Given all this, the page holds up and does not require revision or delisting.
