A post-audit smart contract exploit in March 2026 drained approximately $8,000 via a share accounting flaw, and independent analysts have flagged the layered farming tokenomics as structurally unsustainable.","timeline":[{"date":"2021-02-10","event":"Goose Finance publicly announces removal of migrator backdoor code inherited from PancakeSwap, claiming to be first BSC yield farm to do so.

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>.
