Audit log

Every state-changing event for Brett (BRETT): 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 page states it is a fan tribute and not officially affiliated with the comic's creator. Project documentation cited by CoinGecko says the contract is renounced and the liquidity pool was locked for 365 days after launch. Press coverage places the launch in February 2024. IBTimes reported that the team announced a market capitalization above $1 billion in early June 2024, and described it as the top Base memecoin by market value at that time. The team behind the token was not named in the sources reviewed. Supply figures differ between sources (CoinGecko lists about 9.91B circulating and a 10B maximum, while an IBTimes article cites 1B), so supply and tax details should be checked against the contract directly.","heading":"Origin and Project Description","severity":"low","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinGecko: Brett (BRETT)","type":"other","url":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/based-brett"},{"credibility":2,"name":"IBTimes: Popular Base Memecoin $BRETT Passes $1 Billion Market Cap","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.ibtimes.com/exclusive-popular-base-memecoin-brett-passes-1-billion-market-cap-3733433"}]},{"content":"When fetched on 2026-10-13, CoinGecko listed a price of $0.005301, a market cap of $52,668,822 at rank 459, and 24-hour volume of about $4.93M. These figures differ slightly from the requester's reading of about $54.3M and rank 454 on 2026-10-07, which is consistent with normal movement over six days. CoinGecko lists an all-time high of $0.2342 and an all-time low of $0.0008475. Based on those two figures, the current price is roughly 98% below the listed all-time high; this is a calculation from the cited figures, not a statement in the source.","heading":"Market Data Snapshot","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinGecko: Brett (BRETT)","type":"other","url":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/based-brett"}]},{"content":"FXStreet reported in April 2024 that BRETT fell about 47% amid claims that insiders held a majority of supply at launch. A search summary of a December 2025 Bubblemaps analysis, relayed by MEXC News, alleges that more than 100 linked wallets accumulated over 80% of supply within hours of trading and were funded in batches from OKX on 23 February 2024. The MEXC page could not be retrieved for verification and the claim is unconfirmed here, so it should be treated as an allegation of low confidence. A Bitrue article states the top 12 holders held 32.36% of supply, with no date given. No current top-holder breakdown for the Base contract (0x532f27101965dd16442e59d40670faf5ebb142e4) was verified; readers should check a block explorer or Bubblemaps directly.","heading":"Holder Concentration","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"FXStreet: BRETT drops 47% amid FUD that insiders hold majority of supply at launch","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/brett-a-base-meme-coin-drops-47-amid-fud-that-insiders-hold-majority-of-supply-at-launch-202404262359"},{"credibility":3,"name":"MEXC News (relaying Bubblemaps analysis)","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.mexc.com/news/264270"},{"credibility":3,"name":"Bitrue: Can BRETT Meme Coin Reach $1?","type":"other","url":"https://www.bitrue.com/blog/can-brett-meme-coin-reach-1-dollar"}]},{"content":"FXStreet reported double-digit losses for BRETT and other Base memecoins in June 2024, after an all-time high of $0.1933 on 9 June 2024 per CoinGecko data cited there. CoinGecko's currently listed all-time high is $0.2342 (date not stated on the page fetched). The page also showed a 9.2% fall over 24 hours and 7.6% over 7 days at fetch time. As a memecoin without a stated utility or revenue base, it is subject to sharp price swings and thin-liquidity risk.","heading":"Price Volatility","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"FXStreet: Base meme coins bleed, with BRETT, BENJI, CHOMP, KEYCAT posting double-digit losses","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/base-meme-coins-bleed-with-brett-benji-chomp-keycat-posting-double-digit-losses-202406131800"},{"credibility":2,"name":"CoinGecko: Brett (BRETT)","type":"other","url":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/based-brett"}]},{"content":"No regulatory action, court filing, or confirmed exploit involving BRETT was found in the searches performed.
