Standards & privacy

EXPOSE documents claims; it does not decide guilt. Every allegation is attributed to the person who makes it. Findings are published only by editors, only after review, and only with links to the records they rest on.

We distinguish three levels of evidence. Unverified: submitted, not checked. Corroborated: consistent with at least one independent public source. Independently verified: an editor has checked it against primary records (for example on-chain data or an original, archived post). Screenshots on their own are never marked verified.

On-chain transfers show that value moved between addresses. They do not, alone, establish who controls an address or why a transfer happened. We do not assert common ownership of wallets on the basis of transfers alone.

AI-generated research summaries are investigative leads only. They are labelled as such, cite their sources, and are never published as findings without human review.

Cases involving serious allegations against identifiable people are marked high-risk and require admin sign-off before being featured.

Anyone named in an investigation, or their representative, can respond using the form on the case page. After a short identity check (by the contact you provide, which is never published), the response is published in full alongside the allegation, and the case status is set to Disputed until editors conclude their review.

Use “Report inaccuracy” on any case or evidence item to point out an error, with a source. Corrections are added publicly and timestamped. Original posts are never edited silently.

Takedown and privacy requests (doxxing, private personal information, unlawfully obtained material, legal claims) are prioritised. Material removed for these reasons is redacted from storage. The record shows that a redaction happened, but not the content.

What we collect. Account email or X identity (if you use them), an optional linked Solana wallet address (public by nature; shown on your profile only if you opt in), your display name and bio, and the content you submit. For abuse prevention we store a salted hash of IP addresses in rate-limit counters, deleted automatically after two days.

Anonymous tips. Tips are readable only by editors. Optional contact details are stored separately and never published. Hiding your handle does not make you technically anonymous to our infrastructure providers.

Wallet sign-in. You sign a one-time message. We never ask for private keys or seed phrases, and nothing on this site can move your funds.

Your rights. You can edit your profile at any time and delete your account from Settings. On deletion your profile, votes, bookmarks, reactions and notifications are erased. Published posts and evidence remain part of the public record with your identity detached, because removing them would silently alter investigations others rely on. You can request removal of specific content through a privacy request.

Processors. Supabase (database, authentication, file storage), Vercel (hosting), and, when enabled by the operator: Helius or another Solana RPC provider, the X API, Anthropic (AI summaries of already-public sources), and Cloudflare Turnstile (bot protection).
