Audit log
Every state-changing event for Save: moderation decisions on community submissions, plus corrections and updates from the news pipeline. URL-based decisions carry three independent witnesses — the original source, an Internet Archive snapshot taken at submission time, and a Solana memo signed by our publicly-disclosed publisher key.

The protocol has been flagged by ZachXBT and carries a history of two significant incidents: a controversial governance vote in June 2022 that briefly granted the team emergency powers to seize a user's wallet, and a $1.26 million oracle manipulation exploit in November 2022. The protocol rebranded from Solend to Save in late 2024 and continues to operate with approximately $74 million in total value locked as of mid-2026.","timeline":[{"date":"2021-01-01","event":"Solend protocol launches on Solana as an algorithmic lending and borrowing platform.","source":"Save Finance documentation","source_url":"https://docs.save.finance/"},{"date":"2022-06-19","event":"Solend passes governance proposal SLND1, granting the team 'emergency powers' to take over a whale user's wallet holding 5.7 million SOL and $108 million in stablecoin borrows.

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>.
