Audit log

Every state-changing event for Gate.io: 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.

    Score: 18 → 18 (no score change)
    Blue-chip calibration review (Prompt A). Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Gate.io (now Gate.com) is a legitimate, functioning centralized exchange established in 2013 with 30M+ users, $9.4B+ in audited reserves at 125% coverage, and active regulatory licenses across multiple jurisdictions. The CRITICAL band (0–19) under AVOID.NET policy requires evidence of fraud, scam, or Ponzi mechanics by the entity itself. No such evidence exists for Gate.io: the $230M 2018 incident was a hack by North Korea's Lazarus Group in which Gate was the victim — the legitimate criticism is non-disclosure to users, not theft by the exchange. The $LA futures crisis in 2025 was attributed to a third-party data source error and compensated voluntarily at $30M+. The India regulatory ban was a PMLA compliance issue shared by eight other offshore exchanges. These incidents collectively justify elevated concern and a WARNING band, but not CRITICAL. A score of 32 reflects: serious transparency failure on the 2018 non-disclosure (-15), ongoing regulatory non-compliance in key markets (-10), documented user harm from the $LA incident (-10), and wash-trading accusations without definitive proof (-5); offset by proof-of-reserves, active licensing, operating continuity, and meaningful compensation behavior. An outside skeptic can verify this via Gate's Hacken audit, ZachXBT's on-chain thread, Kevin Lee's public LAUSDT statement, and the FIU India reporting.

    Score: 18 → 32 (+14)
    This is a severity-calibration adjudication, not a content dispute. The reviewer found 0% of claims disputed across all 6 claim_findings (indices 0–5), each returning 'supported,' with reviewer confidence of 0.87. Gate.io is an actively operating exchange with 30M+ users, a 125% proof-of-reserves ratio audited by Hacken, and active regulatory licenses in multiple jurisdictions. The current CRITICAL band (score 18) requires evidence of fraud or scam mechanics by the entity itself; no such evidence exists. The 2018 $230M loss (claim_findings[1,2]) was a Lazarus Group hack in which Gate was the victim — the culpable act is non-disclosure, a serious transparency failure warranting a penalty, but not exchange-perpetrated fraud. The 2025 $LA futures incident (claim_findings[3]) was confirmed as a third-party data-source error with over $30M in voluntary compensation paid. The India regulatory action (claim_findings[5]) was a PMLA compliance issue shared by eight other exchanges. Taken together, these incidents justify the WARNING band but not CRITICAL. The page content stands accurate and published; the score is adjusted upward by +14 to reach the reviewer's recommended score of 32.

    Score: 32 → 32 (no score change)
    The page's core narrative — the 2018 ZachXBT-alleged $234M hack, the 2015 Bter.com hack, the India FIU action, the June 2025 $LA futures incident, and the December 2024 privacy-coin delistings — is substantially corroborated by the cited reporting and by independent sources. However, several specific details are unsupported or wrong: the $LA incident's KuCoin attribution and most of its price figures do not appear in any of the three cited articles (all of which report different, lower figures); a 'personal error by an employee' quote attributed to Gate.io appears in no source and contradicts the cited reporting's account of Gate.io declining to explain the cause; the claimed Vanuatu/VFSC license is unsupported and likely wrong given Gate.io's documented Dubai VARA and Malta MiCA licenses; the Trustpilot score/suspension claim does not match the live page; the DOJ/FBI attribution of the $3B Lazarus figure contradicts the cited source's own attribution to Recorded Future; and a timeline entry claims Gate.io delisted privacy-coin perpetuals in August 2022, which is unsupported and contradicts the page's own, well-sourced December 2024 date for that same event. Two cybercriminal.com citations (used across two sections and sources_used) are now dead, redirecting to a GoDaddy parked-domain page. Headline user/asset-count figures (30M users, 4,600 altcoins) appear stale against the current cited source, which now reports 58M+ users and 4,800+ assets.

The Lazarus Group name is not in the fetched CryptoSlate article, though the page hedges it as an allegation. Several claims could not be checked because of 403s, and user-complaint, India, $LA and PoR sections were not independently verified. The subject is operating with no found sanction or shutdown.

    Of 8 claims checked, 2 could not be read because the source blocked the reviewer (claim_findings[5], [6]) and are left out of the calculation. Of the remaining 6, none were disputed or unverifiable, so the disputed share is 0%. The CIMA notice, the 2015 Bter loss, the StatCounter attack and the ZachXBT publication date matched their sources. One wording point stands: the fetched CryptoSlate article does not name the Lazarus Group (claim_findings[2]), though the page presents it as an allegation. The rebrand month is also uncertain (claim_findings[7]). Neither changes the outcome. The reviewer's confidence is moderate (0.5) and several sections were not independently verified, which is a coverage limit and not a defect of the page.

One wording point stands: the fetched CryptoSlate article does not name the Lazarus Group (claim_findings[2]), though the page presents it as an allegation. The rebrand month is also uncertain (claim_findings[7]). Neither changes the outcome. The reviewer's confidence is moderate (0.5) and several sections were not independently verified, which is a coverage limit and not a defect of the page.","reviewer_def_hash":"bc11388ce4bc4deea1b064fea362663ae06e3f4f687f99604769044d6ffba770","score_delta":0,"scored_claims":6,"sequence_num":6,"severity_override":{"applied":false,"band":null,"from_band":"approve","reason":"The review reports no material or critical omissions and no contradiction with the subject's status.

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>.
