Audit log

Every state-changing event for DuelBits: 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's core factual backbone — the 2020 launch, current Curaçao licensing, the February 2024 $4.6M exploit's amount/date/chains/laundering path, the 2022 Twitch ban, and the two 2025 sponsorship deals — is corroborated by independent reporting. However, the timeline's claim that DuelBits acknowledged the exploit and announced new security measures is contradicted by every source found, which uniformly report DuelBits issued no public statement on the incident, and both the summary and timeline overstate the certainty of the hack's 'private key compromise' cause, which CertiK itself described only as 'possible.' All five content sections are empty, so this review's claim surface is limited to the summary and timeline.

    Score: 3220 (-12)
    Verified disputed_pct is (disputed + unverifiable) / total = 1/13 = 7.7%, which on its own falls in the approve range. However, the review flagged a high-priority coverage gap — all five content sections on this page have no heading or body text at all, one of them still carrying a 'critical' severity label with nothing behind it — and the spec treats a high-priority coverage gap as grounds to move to review_revise even when the dispute rate is low. Within that band, the single disputed claim is serious in kind, not just count: the timeline says DuelBits acknowledged the 2024 hack and announced new security measures, but every source the page itself cites for that incident, plus every source the reviewer checked, states DuelBits made no public statement at all (claim_findings[10]). Three additional findings were downgraded to partially_supported rather than confirmed: the page names a 'Curaçao Gaming Authority' that did not exist at the time of DuelBits' 2020 launch, when its own cited source shows an old-regime license number instead (claim_findings[7]); the page states the hack's cause was 'confirmed'/'detected' as a private-key compromise where CertiK's own alert calls it only 'possible' (claim_findings[9]); and the Twitch ban announcement date is off by one day (claim_findings[8]). None of this rises to a 30%+ dispute rate, so the page is revised rather than denied, but the fabricated-sounding corporate-response claim and the empty, severity-rated sections both need correction before the page should be considered settled.

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>.
