Audit log

Every state-changing event for Tectonic: 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 2024 reentrancy report details are confirmed against the gist. Token supply and ATH figures are inconsistent internally and with CoinGecko. The main problem is staleness: the page says Tectonic remains operational and omits the August 30, 2026 exploit that halted Cronos and led to a chain rollback, which two accepted submissions document. Only a handful of claims were checked; the rest were not independently verified.

   The page states that Tectonic remains operational (claim_findings[0], claim_findings[1], both stale), but two accepted sources document an August 30, 2026 price-manipulation exploit that halted the Cronos chain and led to a rollback, with about $9.2M unrecovered (omission_findings[0], critical). The 2024 reentrancy report was confirmed (claim_findings[2]). The token figures are internally inconsistent and differ from CoinGecko (claim_findings[3], claim_findings[4]). Because the central status claim is outdated and the most significant incident is missing, the page is flagged for significant issues and a revision. A full denial is not warranted since the verified historical material holds up and only five claims were checked.
