Audit log

Every state-changing event for BRZ: 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.

Sources disagree on the issuing entity: some name Transfero Swiss AG, and others cite Transfero Asset Management Ltd (Bahamas) as the mint administrator in the whitepaper. One secondary summary reports that Transfero's Brazilian entity was authorized by Banco Central do Brasil as an electronic money payment institution in August 2023; this was not verified against an official source. The corporate structure should be treated as unresolved.","heading":"Overview and issuer structure","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Transfero - BRZ stablecoin","type":"official","url":"https://transfero.com/brz-stablecoin"},{"credibility":2,"name":"Transfero Brings Digital Brazilian Real to Avalanche","type":"official","url":"https://medium.com/avalancheavax/transfero-brings-digital-brazilian-real-to-avalanche-65e9a61b203"}]},{"content":"After the FTX collapse, InfoMoney reported on 9 November 2022 that FTX held the largest share of BRZ trading volume and that Transfero had received R$40 million from FTX in 2020. Transfero's CEO said the company was negotiating to recover BRZ tokens held by FTX, that it holds custody of the assets backing BRZ, and that it was not dependent on FTX. These are company statements as reported. The article reported market capitalization of about US$188 million at the time. No later report of loss or depeg was found.","heading":"FTX exposure (2022)","severity":"medium","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"InfoMoney - Cripto brasileira BRZ nao depende apenas da FTX","type":"news_article","url":"https://www.infomoney.com.br/?p=1979412"}]},{"content":"Brazil's central bank proposed in late 2024 restrictions on stablecoin transfers to self-custodial wallets, and later rules reportedly treat certain stablecoin transactions as foreign-exchange operations. These are sector-wide measures, not actions against BRZ or Transfero. No enforcement action specific to BRZ was found.

How verification works. The “Row integrity” check above is computed in your browser — your machine recomputes the SHA-256 of the canonical bytes and compares against the stored hash. No avoid.net server can fake that check. The “full verify” link goes one level deeper: your browser fetches the on-chain transaction from a Solana RPC node and confirms the same hash is in the memo. If you don’t want to trust either avoid.net or the public RPC, run the CLI verifier on your own machine — python -m src.verify_decision <event_id>.
