The protocol suffered two separate exploits totaling over $92 million — a $90 million lock-contract vulnerability in October 2021 that went undetected for seven months, and a $2 million oracle-pricing exploit in May 2022 coinciding with the catastrophic collapse of the Terra/Luna ecosystem. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subsequently charged Terraform Labs and CEO Do Kwon with securities fraud in February 2023, with MIR governance tokens and other Terra assets named as unregistered securities; Terraform and Kwon agreed to pay $4.47 billion to settle those charges in June 2024. Mirror Protocol has been dormant since August 26, 2022.","timeline":[{"date":"2020-11-11","event":"MIR token farming begins on Uniswap and Terraswap as Mirror Protocol approaches launch.","source":"BeInCrypto — What Is Mirror Protocol (MIR)?","source_url":"https://beincrypto.com/learn/mirror-protocol/"},{"date":"2020-12-01","event":"Mirror Protocol officially launches on Terra and Ethereum mainnets.

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>.
