Fact-check findings

What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read Waygu / Wagyu against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.

Read this first

These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.

“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.

Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.

    “Tenderize Labs launches its separate WAGYU governance token TGE on Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum — no relation to WagyuSwap, Wagyu Protocol, or WAYGU CASH.”
    reviewerTenderize Labs launched its separate WAGYU governance token TGE on Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum in October 2023The page conflates the protocol's mainnet launch date with the token's TGE date; they are listed as distinct milestones on Tenderize's own timeline. Some ancillary search results describe the Genesis Airdrop as slipping into early 2024, so December 2023 is our best-supported correction rather than a certainty.

How this fits together. The reviewer reads the published page and its cited sources and records one finding per claim. A human moderator decides whether each proposed correction is applied; those decisions, and the score changes they cause, appear in the audit log. Earlier review runs are not shown here; only the latest reflects the page as it stands.
