Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read Epicentral Labs against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.
Read this first
These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.
“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.
Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.

“Its flagship product is OPX (Solana OPX), described as the first fully decentralized options exchange on Solana, enabling trading of American-style options on any token through a non-custodial interface.”
reviewerOPX is described as the first fully decentralized options exchange on Solana.PsyOptions, OptiFi and PsyFi are documented decentralized options platforms on Solana that predate OPX by several years, so the 'first' superlative is contradicted by prior art even though the page attributes it to the project's own description.Proposed correction (not yet applied)Its flagship product is OPX (Solana OPX), described by the project as a decentralized options exchange on Solana, enabling trading of American-style options on any token through a non-custodial interface. - #20[disputed][awaiting moderator]in section: Smart Contract Audit Status
“The project's GitHub organization (16 public repositories) contains no dedicated audit repository.”
reviewerThe project's GitHub organization has 16 public repositories and contains no dedicated audit repository.Directly contradicted by two independent live fetches of the cited GitHub organization page on the review date; the org may have pruned or privatized repositories since the page's data was gathered, but the currently-cited source does not support '16'.Proposed correction (not yet applied)The project's GitHub organization (3 public repositories) contains no dedicated audit repository. - #23[disputed][awaiting moderator]in section: Community and Social Presence
“GitHub activity shows 16 public repositories with regular commit history and the most recent organizational configuration file updated in April 2026.”
reviewerGitHub activity shows 16 public repositories with regular commit history and the most recent organizational configuration file updated in April 2026.Same underlying repository-count error as the Smart Contract Audit Status section; the April 2026 configuration-update date itself could not be independently confirmed or refuted and is left as-is.Proposed correction (not yet applied)GitHub activity shows 3 public repositories with regular commit history and the most recent organizational configuration file updated in April 2026. - #32[disputed][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
“2026-01-15”
reviewerEpicentral Labs posted on X on 2026-01-15 announcing developments, with the account at approximately 1,254 followers.Snowflake-ID decoding is a deterministic, source-independent method and places this post exactly one year (and one day) earlier than the page's stated date; the follower count attached to the event (a mid-2026 figure) may have been conflated with an earlier post.Proposed correction (not yet applied)2025-01-14

“No full legal names, biographical details, or professional backgrounds have been publicly disclosed for any Epicentral Labs team member.”
reviewerNo full legal names, biographical details, or professional backgrounds have been publicly disclosed for any Epicentral Labs team member.GitHub evidence supports pseudonymous leadership (only TheLazySol identified), but the cited LinkedIn source could not be reliably re-checked because LinkedIn blocks unauthenticated scraping; treating this as unverifiable rather than confirmed or disputed. - #16[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: Product Development Status and Roadmap
“As of the investigation date (June 2026), Epicentral Labs' roadmap shows 87.1% completion across 116 tracked items: 101 completed, 2 in progress, 9 halted, and 4 not started.”
reviewerAs of the investigation date, Epicentral Labs' roadmap shows 87.1% completion across 116 tracked items (101 completed, 2 in progress, 9 halted, 4 not started).Could not be independently verified due to the roadmap page being unreachable at review time; general roadmap themes (front-end/back-end work, fundraising) are corroborated by secondary sources but not this specific tally. - #29[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in the timeline

- #3[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Project Overview and Entity Structure
“Governance is exercised by LABS token holders, who the project claims hold on-chain, legally binding authority over DAO operations.”
reviewerLABS token holders hold on-chain, legally binding governance authority per the project's own claim.Source says what the page attributes to it, but 'legally binding' is a self-asserted legal characterization that has not been tested or verified by any court or regulator; the page appropriately re-raises this caveat in the Regulatory section. - #17[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Product Development Status and Roadmap
“Epicentral Labs conducted a fundraising campaign on Cabana Exchange, raising USDC at a fixed price of $0.0046 per LABS token with zero slippage, described as the first decentralized open-market fundraising campaign on Solana.”
reviewerEpicentral Labs conducted a fundraising campaign on Cabana Exchange at a fixed price of $0.0046 per LABS with zero slippage, described as the first decentralized open-market fundraising campaign on Solana.The price and mechanism are corroborated, but the 'first' superlative originates from the project's own promotional framing as repackaged by a low-tier outlet (Meme Insider) and has not been independently verified against other Solana fundraising mechanisms. - #22[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Community and Social Presence
“The project's 2025 roadmap listed a goal of reaching 1,500 Twitter followers, which had not been reached as of the investigation date.”
reviewerThe 2025 roadmap listed a goal of 1,500 Twitter followers, which had not been reached as of the investigation date.The arithmetic conclusion (1,254 confirmed followers is less than a stated 1,500 goal) is internally consistent, but the existence of a specific 1,500-follower roadmap target could not be independently confirmed because the roadmap page was unreachable. - #30[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
“LABS token listed on CoinGecko; OPX MVP finalized; DAO Olympics governance event completed.”
reviewerIn 2026, LABS was listed on CoinGecko, OPX MVP was finalized, and a 'DAO Olympics' governance event was completed.The CoinGecko listing and MVP finalization are corroborated; no independent source could confirm a 'DAO Olympics governance event.'

reviewerAs of June 2026, LABS traded at approximately $0.0032-$0.0034, with a market cap of roughly $177,000-$185,500.Figures are dated appropriately as 'as of June 2026'; a live check in September 2026 shows the price has since fallen substantially (~$0.00088, ~$48K market cap), which does not contradict the page since it is explicitly time-stamped, but is worth noting as a coverage/freshness point. - #12[confirmed][no action needed]in section: LABS Token: Market Data and Distribution

“This legal structure has not been independently verified and may raise questions about enforceability across jurisdictions, particularly given that the DAO governs what may constitute a financial product.”
reviewerThe dual DAO/LLC legal structure has not been independently verified and may raise enforceability questions, and the project has not addressed whether LABS is a security.This is an appropriately hedged statement of uncertainty rather than a factual assertion, and the underlying uncertainty is real — no independent corporate filing was located to confirm the LLC's jurisdiction or status. - #27[confirmed][no action needed]in section: Risk Summary

How this fits together. The reviewer reads the published page and its cited sources and records one finding per claim. A human moderator decides whether each proposed correction is applied; those decisions, and the score changes they cause, appear in the audit log. Earlier review runs are not shown here; only the latest reflects the page as it stands.
