Audit log

Every state-changing event for Goose Finance: 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 core facts hold: the March 2026 exploit date, amount and cause, and the CertiK audit counts all match the cited sources, and the project is still operating. Unsupported items include the 'Low' severity label, the #1,911 rank and the 46% coverage figure, none of which appear in the cited pages. Two figures are slightly off: the ATH date, which should be one day earlier, and the TVL, which is outdated. Several cited sources were not fetched, so many claims were not checked.

   Score: 57 → 57 (no score change)
   Of 10 countable claims (one blocked-source claim excluded), 1 was disputed and 3 could not be found in the cited sources, giving 40%, which falls in the significant-issues band. The core facts held: the March 2026 exploit date, amount and cause (claim_findings[0]) and the CertiK audit counts (claim_findings[4]) match their sources, and the project is still operating. The unsupported items are the 'Low' severity label and #1,911 rank (claim_findings[1]), the 46% coverage figure (claim_findings[5]) and the launch mechanics (claim_findings[10]), plus a one-day-off ATH date (claim_findings[7]) and an outdated TVL figure (claim_findings[8]). The penalty is set at the mild end of the band because the unsupported claims are peripheral to the core allegations, there are no material omissions, and reviewer confidence is moderate.
