Audit log

Every state-changing event for Harbor Protocol: 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: 50 → 50 (no score change)
    The core narrative holds: a June 2023 incident, an August 18-19, 2023 vault exploit with TVL falling from about $370k to $81k, and a later deprecated, zero-TVL protocol. Two attributions are unsupported by the cited sources. The DeDotFi and PeckShield 'confirmed unrelated' claim appears in the section text and the timeline, and the ZachXBT 'flagged' claim has no support either. The named attacker address and the June oracle mechanics could not be verified because the primary Comdex posts were unreachable.

    Score: 50 → 50 (no score change)
    Of 10 countable claim findings (one was excluded because its source was blocked), 3 were disputed and 2 could not be verified, giving 50%, which falls in the significant-issues band. The disputed items are attributions that no fetched source supports: DeDotFi and PeckShield 'confirming' the exploit was unrelated to the Exactly attack (claim_findings[0] and [1], in both the section text and the timeline), and ZachXBT 'flagging' the protocol (claim_findings[2]). The named attacker address (claim_findings[3]) could not be found in any source, and the primary Comdex post-mortems were unreachable, which is a high-priority coverage limit rather than a defect of the page. The core account of two 2023 incidents, the roughly $370k to $81k TVL drop and the later zero-TVL status is supported, so the penalty sits in the lower-middle of the band and the page is not delisted.

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>.
