Fact-check findings

The reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. This is a lead, not a ruling that the claim is false.

1. #17[disputed][awaiting moderator]in the timeline

   “Protocol reports approximately $11.19M TVL across Base, Arbitrum, and Ethereum. Revert Lend goes live on Ethereum Mainnet.”

   reviewerIn May 2026, Revert Lend 'goes live on Ethereum Mainnet,' alongside reporting ~$11.19M TVL across Base, Arbitrum, and Ethereum.Internal contradiction: this entry implies Ethereum Mainnet launched in May 2026, but the page's own points-program section and timeline entry for July 24, 2025 already describe Ethereum Mainnet lending being live and rewarded a year earlier. One of these is wrong; given the points-program claim is corroborated by an independent source and the 'goes live' clause is not corroborated by any source, the 'goes live on Ethereum Mainnet' clause should be removed or corrected.
   Proposed correction (not yet applied)

   Protocol reports approximately $11.19M TVL across Base, Arbitrum, and Ethereum.

No source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.

1. #3[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in section: 2023 V3Utils Exploit

   “Approximately 90% of the stolen funds came from a single affected account.”

   reviewerApproximately 90% of the funds stolen in the 2023 V3Utils exploit came from a single affected account.None of the page's own cited sources mention this detail, and the only outside source discussing a '90%' figure uses ambiguous plural phrasing that does not clearly support the page's 'a single affected account' framing. Could not confirm or disprove with confidence.

   “The incident has been flagged in connection with ZachXBT's monitoring activity.”

   reviewerThe January 2026 Revert Lend exploit has been flagged in connection with ZachXBT's monitoring activity.No source -- cited or independently found -- ties ZachXBT to this specific incident. This is a specific, checkable attribution to a named individual that could not be substantiated.

   “In March 2024, Code4rena ran a competitive audit of the Revert Lend smart contracts with an $88,500 USDC bounty pool.”

   reviewerThe March 2024 Code4rena competitive audit of Revert Lend had an $88,500 USDC bounty pool.The $88,500 figure could not be independently confirmed from the live report pages or web search, though nothing contradicts it either. (By contrast, the April 2024 mitigation review's $23,500 pool was directly confirmed on its own page.)

6. #18[unverifiable][awaiting moderator]in the timeline

   “PeckShield completes audit of Compoundor v1 contract, identifying 2 low-severity issues and 1 informational recommendation.”

   reviewerPeckShield's August 2022 audit of Compoundor v1 identified 2 low-severity issues and 1 informational recommendation.The audit's existence and date are confirmed; the specific finding breakdown (2 low, 1 informational) could not be independently verified from the cited or any other source found.

The cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.

1. #1[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Protocol Overview

   “As of mid-2026, it reports approximately $11.19 million in total value locked across these chains: Base ($5.33M), Arbitrum ($3.92M), and Ethereum ($1.94M).”

   reviewerAs of mid-2026, Revert Lend's TVL was approximately $11.19M, split Base $5.33M / Arbitrum $3.92M / Ethereum $1.94M.DeFiLlama is a credible, frequently-updated source and the cited figure is plausible for some point in mid-2026 given observed TVL volatility ($8.7M-$12.34M range across different snapshots), but I could not independently confirm the exact mid-2026 snapshot, and current data is materially lower. This figure should be refreshed on a shorter cycle given how fast it moves.

   “The publicly identified founder is Mario Romero Zavala, who previously co-founded Sixtant — a market-making firm — and served as Lead Software Engineer at Bitso, a major Latin American crypto exchange.”

   reviewerMario Romero Zavala is Revert Finance's publicly identified founder, previously co-founded Sixtant, and served as Lead Software Engineer at Bitso.Founder identity and Sixtant background are reasonably corroborated, though one conflicting (likely erroneous) attribution surfaced and could not be fully resolved. The specific 'Lead Software Engineer at Bitso' detail was not independently found in any source consulted.

3. #13[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Team and Background

   “Known investors include Encode Club and FinTech Collective; Daedalus Angels has also been cited as an investor in some sources.”

   reviewerKnown investors in Revert Finance include Encode Club and FinTech Collective.FinTech Collective is independently confirmed as an investor. Encode Club is presented with the same confidence as FinTech Collective but, unlike Daedalus Angels, is not given a hedge, even though it is no better corroborated than Daedalus Angels in the sources found. Proposed correction aligns the hedging with the actual evidence.
