Verify a decision
Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.
How verification works
- We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (
payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction. - We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
- You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is
AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

However, two of the three disputed findings are material: claim_findings[12] states GHO reached 'over $3.5 billion in circulation by mid-2025' when multiple independent sources — including DeFiLlama, CoinMarketCap, and The Defiant — show GHO's market cap peaked around $500-584 million, an overstatement of approximately 6x on a named protocol product. claim_findings[9] reports Aave V3 alone holds $14.8 billion TVL with a combined ecosystem TVL approaching $25 billion, when as of May 2026 the total Aave TVL across all versions was approximately $14.5 billion combined; the '$25 billion' figure reflects a pre-KelpDAO snapshot and is significantly stale. The third disputed item, claim_findings[10] (AAVE token price and market cap), is a minor point-in-time variance. The page requires revision to correct the GHO circulation figure and refresh the TVL and market cap data to reflect current values; no delisting or status change is warranted given the strength of sourcing elsewhere.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":7,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
