Basis Desk Verify: Crypto News Fact Check & Scam Checker

Fact-check any crypto article: primary sources, verified context, live prices and token scam checks in a side panel. Free.

Basis Desk Verify fact-checks crypto news on any web page. Click the icon on an article, a blog post, an exchange announcement or a token page, and a side panel opens with: ✓ Verified context — the Basis Desk story on the same event: what happened, why it matters, its primary sources and the story thread it belongs to. ✓ Primary documents — SEC and CFTC releases, court filings, company and protocol posts, GitHub: the original documents the page links to, in one list. ✓ Claim check — up to five key claims of the page (or the sentence you select) compared with Basis Desk's source-verified coverage and those primary documents. Every claim gets a clear label — Matches verified coverage · Differs from a source · Not in sources we track · Opinion or prediction — with the evidence quoted. ✓ Token scam checker — contract addresses on the page get a one-click safety scan: honeypot behaviour, buy/sell tax, mint and pause powers, blacklists, proxy contracts and owner privileges (GoPlus Security data). ✓ Live prices — Bitcoin, Ethereum and every asset the page mentions, plus the Crypto Fear & Greed index. HOW IT WORKS Basis Desk is an AI-native crypto newsroom: every article is drafted from primary sources — regulators, courts, filings, protocol and company posts, on-chain data — and checked against them before publication. Basis Desk Verify brings that verification layer to the rest of the crypto web. It never calls a page false: it shows what the sources say and lets you judge. "Not in sources we track" means we could not check a claim, not that it is wrong. HOW TO USE • Click the Basis Desk icon (or press Alt+Shift+V) on any crypto page. • Press "Check the claims" for the claim labels. • Select a sentence, right-click and choose "Verify with Basis Desk" to check just that claim. PRIVACY The extension reads a page only when you ask — a click, the shortcut or the right-click menu. No browsing history, no background tracking, no ads, no data sales.
