Audit log

Every state-changing event for XDC Network: 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.

2. #2reviewby reviewerreviewer

   Score: 62 → 62 (no score change)
   The XDC Network investigation page is largely accurate and supported by independent sources, with one factual error: the XDC 2.0 upgrade occurred on September 30, 2024 (Q3), not 'Q4 2024' as stated. The co-founder listing is partially misleading, as Karan Bhardwaj departed the company in 2018 and is no longer listed on official channels. The page's heavy reliance on official XDC/XinFin sources limits independent verification, and coverage gaps around token distribution, validator centralization, and audit history are notable given the enterprise-focused positioning.

   The review found 10 of 14 claims confirmed, 2 partially supported, and 1 disputed, yielding a disputed_pct of 7% — within the 0-10% approval band. The sole disputed claim (claim_findings[6]) is a minor date classification error: the XDC 2.0 upgrade occurred on September 30, 2024 (Q3), not Q4 as stated on the page. The two partially supported claims (claim_findings[0] and claim_findings[11]) reflect a co-founder who departed in 2018 being listed without qualification, and a slightly imprecise characterization of Elliptic's scope — neither rises to a material factual dispute. Three high-priority coverage gaps around token distribution, validator concentration, and source independence are noted and warrant future expansion, but open coverage gaps do not require denial or revision under current policy.
