Audit log

Every state-changing event for Fluent: 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.

An earlier snapshot referenced by a search summary cited about 7,500 weekly active users and 28,000 transactions, which would imply a sharp decline, but that figure is from a search summary and the snapshot dates are uncertain.

   Score: 45 → 45 (no score change)
   The page is heavily hedged and mostly accurate on what it can source. The funding details are confirmed against The Block. The Upbit listing source describes a planned listing, not a completed one. The mainnet and token sale source (MEXC) returns 410, so the sale terms are unverifiable. The timeline entry for the shutdown post wrongly cites the CertiK page. The central rumour could not be verified either way, and the page says so. Coverage lacks official project statements and on-chain data.

   Score: 45 → 27 (-18)
   Of 7 reviewed claims, 3 were disputed or unverifiable (about 43%). The October 2026 timeline entry cites a CertiK page that says nothing about the social post (claim_findings[5]), the shutdown-post claim itself could not be located (claim_findings[6]), and the April 2026 token-sale terms rest on a MEXC source that now returns 410 (claim_findings[3], claim_findings[4]). The funding claim is confirmed by a Tier 2 source (claim_findings[0]) and the page hedges most uncertain statements, so the penalty sits at the lighter end of the band. High-priority coverage gaps on official project statements and on-chain/TVL data mean the page's central question is still not backed by primary evidence.
