Audit log

Every state-changing event for ChainSwap: 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 platform suffered two separate smart contract exploits in July 2021 — the first on July 2 draining approximately $800,000, and the second on July 10-11 draining approximately $4.4 million (with some sources citing up to $8 million across affected partner token markets) — collectively devastating more than 20 partner projects. Following the exploits, ChainSwap offered partial compensation via token airdrops; the project's native CHAINS/ASAP token collapsed over 96% from its all-time high and the protocol has since become largely inactive under its original identity, with the @ChainSwapERC Twitter handle rebranding to ChainHub in early 2026.","timeline":[{"date":"2021-03-21","event":"ChainSwap launches a Polkastarter bridge, signaling early multi-chain ambitions","source":""},{"date":"2021-04-07","event":"ChainSwap closes a $3 million strategic funding round led by NGC Ventures, with Alameda Research, OKEx Block Dream Fund, CMS Holdings, and others participating","source":""},{"date":"2021-04-23","event":"ASAP/CHAINS token reaches all-time high of approximately $3.62","source":""},{"date":"2021-07-02","event":"First exploit: smart contract vulnerability drained approximately $800,000.

   Score: 50 → 50 (no score change)
   The core narrative (two July 2021 exploits, Alameda-backed funding, Tornado Cash funding, attacker cash-out figures) matches Rekt and Decrypt. The $4.4M is described as direct bridge loss though sources describe it as the value in the attacker wallet. The 30-minute response claim is not in the cited Decrypt article. The ChainHub rebrand rests on a single aggregator listing, and the summary's 96% figure conflicts with the section's 99%. Few sources were checked, so coverage of the page is partial.

   Score: 50 → 50 (no score change)
   Of 6 claims reviewed, 5 count toward the dispute rate (1 unverifiable claim was excluded because its source blocked the reviewer). One of those 5, the 30-minute fix claim (claim_findings[2]), was not found in the cited Decrypt article, giving a 20% rate. Two further claims were only partially supported: the $4.4M figure is the value held in the attacker's wallet, not confirmed bridge losses (claim_findings[1]), and the summary's 96% token drop conflicts with the 99% in the body (claim_findings[5]). The core narrative of two July 2021 exploits and the attacker's cash-out figures was confirmed. One minor omission (partial recovery with police and OKEx) was noted and no shutdown or sanction contradicts the page. The reviewer checked relatively few sources, so the penalty is kept small.
