Audit log

Every state-changing event for RiskOnBlast: 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 core facts hold and match CoinDesk and CertiK: a roughly 420 ETH rug pull on Feb 24, 2024, the addresses, the 14:35 UTC withdrawal, the laundering amounts and the 750-wallet figure. Problems are in details. The page calls the IDO both 'uncapped' and capped. It dates the IDO close to Feb 23, while CertiK puts the cap-reaching deposit 17 minutes before the Feb 24 withdrawal. It describes a 'rating' where the source reports only an X comment. The $20M group total, several per-project loss figures, the Andrew Choi alert and the top-three ranking were not confirmed. Several cited sources were not fetched.

    The core facts of the rug pull (about 420 ETH taken on Feb 24, 2024, the addresses, the 14:35 UTC withdrawal, the laundering amounts and the 750-wallet figure) were confirmed against CoinDesk and CertiK. Two of 11 claims could not be verified (claim_findings[8] the Andrew Choi alert, claim_findings[9] the top-three 2024 presale ranking), giving about 18% disputed or unverifiable. Five further claims were only partly supported: the page calls the IDO both uncapped and capped and dates its close to Feb 23 against CertiK's timing (claim_findings[1], [2]), and it describes a formal 'Undeniable' rating where the source reports only an X comment (claim_findings[3], [4]). The $20M group total and several per-project loss figures were not confirmed (claim_findings[7]). Timeline entries carry no sources. The penalty is kept at the low end because the reviewer's confidence was moderate and the flawed items are secondary to the core allegation.

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>.
