Audit log

Every state-changing event for Zerion Wallet: 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.

    Score: 55 → 55 (no score change)
    The investigation is broadly accurate on the major security incidents, funding round, and ZERO Network shutdown, with all core figures (dollar amounts, dates of incidents, shutdown deadlines) confirmed by independent sources. Three claims are partially supported: the founder list omits co-founder Vadim Koleoshkin, the Series B closing date is stated as August 17, 2022 when official sources place it at October 12, 2022, and the summary's assertion that 'user funds were unaffected in each incident' is contradicted by the 2021 Balancer phishing attack in which one user lost approximately $30,000. Notable coverage gaps include the December 2025–January 2026 ZERO Network block production outage, the absence of any regulatory history, and no ZERO token analysis.

    Score: 55 → 43 (-12)
    Three of 14 claims (21%) are partially supported rather than confirmed. The most consequential is claim_findings[11]: the page summary states user funds were unaffected in each incident, but the 2021 Balancer phishing attack resulted in approximately $30,000 in real user losses — this overstates Zerion's security track record in the lead text readers encounter first. Additionally, claim_findings[2] omits co-founder Vadim Koleoshkin, who is consistently named in official press releases and third-party sources alongside Yurtaev and Bashlykov. claim_findings[4] records the Series B closing date as August 17, 2022, contradicted by the official PR Newswire release and all major coverage which places it at October 12, 2022. No claims are fully disputed and no link rot was found; the core security incident figures and ZERO Network shutdown details are all confirmed by independent sources including Tier 1 outlets.

    Score: 65 → 65 (no score change)
    The page's event-level reporting on Zerion's three security incidents (Feb 2021 Balancer-clone phishing, June 2023 Twitter compromise, April 2026 North Korean-attributed social engineering breach) and the ZERO Network shutdown is well sourced and matches primary materials and independent press coverage closely, including exact dollar figures from Zerion's own post-mortems. However, the page gets Zerion's founding year wrong (claims 2016; company materials and CB Insights point to 2019) in three places (summary, overview section, timeline), misstates the ZERO Network's actual mainnet launch month (claims December 2024; multiple outlets date it to November 12, 2024), and misnames the firms behind Zerion's security audits (claims Cube53/PeckShield/Trail of Bits; the cited zerion.io/security page actually lists Cure53/SlowMist/Zokyo/Secfault Security). The security section also overstates that no incident ever involved loss of user funds, glossing over the Feb 2021 incident's $30,000 user loss (later reimbursed). One Scam Sniffer attribution detail could not be verified because the sole cited source (an X/Twitter post) was paywalled, and the one accessible primary source for that incident names a different firm for a related claim. A cited Bitget Academy source is a dead link (404) in two places on the page.

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>.
