The claim was accurate when written but events since have overtaken it.

   “the token's all-time low of approximately $0.00003113 was reached on February 11, 2026.”

   reviewerToken all-time low is about $0.00003113, reached on February 11, 2026The ATL has since been superseded. The Feb 11, 2026 date could not be verified, so the correction drops it.

   “$YOLO token reaches its all-time low of approximately $0.00003113, approximately 99.6% below its peak.”

   reviewerTimeline entry dated 2026-02-11 for the all-time low, ~99.6% below peakSame defect as the section 2 ATL figure. The timeline date 2026-02-11 is unverified and the entry has no source.
   Proposed correction (not yet applied)

   $YOLO token's all-time low is approximately $0.00002494, approximately 99.7% below its peak.

The cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.

   “LooksRare, an NFT marketplace, is identified as a core contributor to the project, with 2.5% of the initial $YOLO supply allocated to LOOKS stakers.”

   reviewerLooksRare is a core contributor, with 2.5% of the initial YOLO supply allocated to LOOKS stakersThe LooksRare post supports a stakers' allocation but not the exact '2.5% of initial supply' framing. The 'core contributor' wording may come from the project's own docs, which I did not check.

   “suggesting severe user attrition or effective abandonment.”

   reviewerProtocol shows near-zero fee activity, suggesting abandonmentNear-zero fees are confirmed. The page hedges its inference, but I found no confirmed shutdown.

   “DeFiLlama data shows cumulative protocol fees of approximately $22.5 million historically, but 7-day and 24-hour fees have collapsed to $0, indicating near-complete user attrition.”

   reviewerDeFiLlama shows about $22.5M cumulative fees and $0 recent feesThe DeFiLlama API confirms the figures. The protocol page was blocked, so I used the API. The 'user attrition' inference is interpretive.
