Kerne Disclosure Integrity Audit

Do your disclosures match the chain?

A fixed-scope, 72-hour report on whether your protocol's public claims line up with what its on-chain data actually shows. We check the yield you advertise against the yield you realized, the addresses and figures in your docs against the live registry, and how your oracle or attestation is sourced and verified. You receive a written report and an EIP-191 signed findings summary you can publish. $499 flat, delivered within 72 hours of scope confirmation.

$499 flat, one time. It is a review of your public claims against public on-chain data. It is not a security audit, not a solvency or credit opinion, not a rating, and not a compliance or legal determination. The full framing is spelled out below, because it matters.

What the audit reviews

Three places a protocol's public claims drift from its chain.

Each axis below is a check Kerne already runs over its own protocol in public. The audit runs the same three on you, sourced entirely to your own published materials and live on-chain reads, so every finding is one you can reproduce.

Yield
Advertised yield versus realized yield

We take the yield you advertise, first-party and dated, and set it against the yield your token actually realized, computed from ERC-4626 share-price growth read on chain over a stated window. Where the two diverge, the report says by how much and shows the exact reads, so the gap is a number a holder can reproduce, not an accusation.

Consistency
Document and address consistency

We cross-check the contract addresses, privileged roles, and headline figures cited across your docs, whitepaper, dashboard, and exchange listings against the live on-chain registry. A retired contract still named as live, a role that has moved, a figure that no longer matches the chain: this is the exact class of drift we found and fixed in our own copy, and it is what a diligent reader hits first.

Oracle
Oracle and attestation posture

We map how your peg or price is sourced and whether the signature or attestation behind it is actually verified end to end, including freshness and replay surface. The failures that ended real protocols this year were signatures nobody checked; the report states plainly where your trust rests and what a holder can confirm without it.

What you receive

One report, delivered within 72 hours of scope confirmation, in two parts.

1
The written report

A sourced walk through the three axes above, typically 1,500 to 2,500 words. Every on-chain figure carries the exact cast or curl command that reproduces it at a stated block, every claim we test is quoted from your own published materials, and where public data cannot settle a question the report says so instead of guessing.

2
A signed findings summary

A short summary of the findings, EIP-191 signed by a named Kerne key, in the same shape as the signed attestation Kerne publishes over its own reserves. You can publish it as-is. Anyone you forward it to can recover the signer and confirm the summary was issued by Kerne and has not been altered, in three lines, without trusting you or us.

How it is produced: the same tooling Kerne runs over its own protocol, which combines automated on-chain reads and static checks with manual review of your published disclosures. A signed summary proves what a named key attested at a point in time; it is not a proof that the underlying protocol is secure or solvent.

Read a finished one first

We ran this exact review, in full and unredacted, on a token that is not a customer, so you can read a complete disclosure audit before you commission yours. It is the shape of what you receive.

Who audits the auditor

The fair question about anyone selling disclosure review is what they hide about themselves. Our answer is on the site. Kerne runs all three checks above over its own protocol and publishes the results even when they are bad. On the Honesty Index our own token sits in row one and currently carries the widest advertised versus realized gap on the board, by design, because putting ourselves first and worst is the point. When we found signature-verification defects in our own signed proof-of-reserves, we fixed them and left the write-up public rather than quietly patching. You are hiring a reviewer whose own disclosures you can check the same way this report checks yours.

What this is not, stated first

This is disclosure review, and it is not security assurance. It is not a security audit and does not test your contracts for vulnerabilities. It is not a solvency or credit opinion and never claims your protocol is solvent or safe. It is not a rating, not a compliance or legal determination, and buying it does not make you compliant with anything. If a vendor tells you a report certifies your security or your solvency, they are selling you a problem.

What it is: a structured check of whether your own public claims line up with your own public on-chain data, delivered with a signed summary you can show anyone. It reads what is public and reproducible and reports where your claims and the chain agree, where they diverge, and where public data runs out. A faithful review of a well-disclosed protocol will faithfully say so.

Commission one

Our guarantee. Every on-chain figure in the report carries the command that reproduces it from public data at the stated block, and the findings summary verifies against the named signing key. If any figure does not reproduce or the signature does not verify, we refund the fee or re-run the work, your call. That is the promise a review of public data can make and keep. It is not a promise about conclusions or about your protocol's health; a faithful audit of a well-disclosed protocol will faithfully say so. Delivery is within 72 hours of scope confirmation, or the fee comes back.

The fee is $499, one time. Pay in USDC on Base straight to the founder-controlled Kerne treasury address, and the on-chain transaction is your receipt; verify the address before you send. As soon as it confirms, email your token address, the chain it lives on, and links to the disclosures you want reviewed to kerne.systems@protonmail.com. Delivery is within 72 hours of scope confirmation.

Pay the $499 fee in USDC on Base, then tell us the token and the disclosures to review. Connect a wallet to pay in one click, or pay manually from any wallet or exchange and paste the transaction hash.

After you pay, send your details to kerne.systems@protonmail.com (or just reply to the receipt email). Token, chain, and the disclosure links; we take it from there.

Rather email, or want to confirm scope first?

The $499 fee is self-serve above. If you would rather not pay by wallet, or you want to confirm the audit fits before you pay, leave your email and your token. We reply from kerne.systems@protonmail.com. If you need to pay by invoice or bank wire instead of on-chain, say so here and we will send instructions.

Near it, if you need something else

The disclosure audit reviews your claims against your chain. When you need the reserve half in depth, the regulatory readout, or a standing watch instead, those live on their own pages.

Want to run one axis yourself, free? The Honesty Index compares advertised and realized yield across the field, and Verify Any Stablecoin runs the on-chain read on any token right now, for nothing.

Kerne is infrastructure and a service provider, not an auditor, a rating agency, a registered public accounting firm, a custodian, or an investment adviser. The Disclosure Integrity Audit is a review of a subject's own public claims against public on-chain data at the addresses it discloses. It is not a security audit, a solvency or credit opinion, a rating, a recommendation, or any form of investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice, and it makes no issuer compliant with any law. Kerne is early and not yet externally audited, disclosed at kerne.fi/dataroom; this work stands on cryptography and public data you verify independently, not on our posture. The fee is $499 fixed, earned on delivery.
