Audit log

Every state-changing event for Keep3r Network: 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 incident narrative (June 2023 vanity-address exploit, Statemind GaugeProxyV2 disclosure, SEC context) is largely supported by the sources I checked. Problems found: the DAO Times link used for the 2023 exploit is a 404, the summary's ZachXBT claim has no support anywhere on the page or in search, the timeline overstates the SEC's Keep3r focus, and the market data appears stale. Spirit Swap was not found in the PR Newswire release. Coverage was partial because many cited sources were not fetched.

   Of 9 claim findings, 2 were unverifiable (22%), which falls in the minor-issues band. The core incident narrative (the June 2023 exploit and the Statemind disclosure) was supported by primary sources. However, the only cited source for the 2023 exploit returns 404 (claim_findings[2], [3]), and the summary's ZachXBT claim has no support on the page or in search (claim_findings[0]). The timeline overstates the SEC's interest in Keep3r (claim_findings[6]), and the 2025 market data is out of date (claim_findings[7]). The penalty sits in the upper part of the band because of the dead citation and the unsupported claim. It is limited because reviewer confidence is only 0.5 and many cited sources were not fetched.
