===Tidal Wave verification===
On 22 July 2023, Zoink finally revealed his secret verification project, Tidal Wave, which he had teased earlier and had been struggling with for the past two weeks. The furthest he progressed in that time was 50%, which took him about 25,000 attempts.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHOzhtaSg0o</ref> He also added that, from his view, 30-39% is the most difficult part of the level. A week later, he got a new 67% record.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-PZvpEsEqw</ref> Another week later, 74%,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kGaulReN2Q</ref> and on 10 August, he got to 90%, commenting that it took him about 39,000 attempts to reach that point.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8xZnkFcBUc</ref>

Three days after his furthest run, Zoink failed at 95%, triggering a phenomenon known as 'Zoink's curse',<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I176TU8NhNU</ref> which is also associated with wPopoff, [[Trick]], and [[Netermind]], three Tidal Wave victors who also failed at 95%. Zoink's video was his last before completion, and he had already spent about 40,000 attempts by then.

On 9 September 2023, Zoink finally beat the level. This achievement took him 49,534 attempts, 25 fails past 73%, including the furthest fails at 95%, 94%, 93%, 92%, and 91%. It spanned over two months of practice. Tidal Wave was his most prominent achievement in the game yet, as the level was set to place at #1 long before its rating, which took over six months and sparked many controversies throughout the community.
