On September 8, 2025, @solashenone opened a slash on Ethos against @gainzy222 for 100 credibility score, accusing him of rugging his own token. Two days later, on September 10, the slash passed. 79% of weighted votes were in favor, and his score fell to 905, in the “Questionable” range.
The case shows how Ethos handles a serious allegation. Instead of one account’s word settling it, the community reviewed the claim and voted, and the outcome changed the target’s credibility score.
The slash
When the slash opened, @solashenone held an “established” status on Ethos. @gainzy222 was already marked “questionable.”
@solashenone’s case against him read:
“Rugged his own token of $160K+ & lied of a ‘misclick’. Another wallet then insider traded.”
The allegations were:
- Rugging his own token, worth more than $160K
- Calling it a “misclick”, which @solashenone said was a lie
- Insider trading by another wallet afterward
The slash text also included an inflammatory personal accusation about @gainzy222’s politics. Ethos’s later post on the result quoted only the token allegations.
The full slash, with commentary and voting, was posted at app.ethos.network. On September 8, Ethos noted the vote would stay open for another 45 hours.
The vote
Voting closed on September 10, 2025. According to Ethos:
- Over 200 credible people voted on the slash
- Weighted voting came out 79% in favor
- The threshold to complete a slash is 60%
At 79%, the result was well above what was needed for the slash to go through.
The result
With the slash complete, @gainzy222’s reputation was slashed on Ethos. His credibility score dropped to 905, which kept him in the “Questionable” range.
Ethos is an onchain reputation network where people review and vouch for each other, and every account gets a credibility score from what others say about it. A slash is one way that score can change: a member makes a specific accusation, other credible members weigh in, and a weighted vote decides whether it stands. Anyone looking up @gainzy222 on Ethos afterward would see both the lower score and the record of why it fell.
