Audit log
Every state-changing event for EraLend: 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.

However, 3 of the 9 scoreable claims could not be verified: the Hacken cross-chain tracing (claim_findings[2]), the statement that EraLend marketed itself as safer for avoiding external oracles (claim_findings[6]), and the 'no communications since February 2024' claim (claim_findings[11]). That is a 33% unverified share, which falls in the significant band. The penalty is set at the mild end because nothing was contradicted and the reviewer's confidence is moderate. Three further claims could not be checked because their sources blocked the reviewer (August 2023 relaunch details, current TVL, rebrand date); these are a coverage limit, not a defect of the page.anchoranchored

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>.
