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, three recurring errors require correction before the page can be approved. First, the TIA all-time high date is stated as 'June 2024' throughout the page (including the summary, sections[3], sections[5], timeline[6], and sections[5]) when CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and Coinbase all confirm the ATH occurred on February 10, 2024 — this error propagates into downstream calculations about the scale and timing of decline. Second, timeline[5] dates the $100 million Celestia Foundation raise as January 2024 when The Block's original reporting places the announcement on September 23, 2024, a nine-month discrepancy. Third, the 'approximately 80% insider allocation' framing in sections[3] is disputed by official Celestia documentation, which places strict insider allocation (team plus early backers) at approximately 53%; the page reaches 80% only by classifying the R&D/Ecosystem fund as insider-controlled, a characterization not supported by the primary source. The Series A and Series B per-token prices ($0.0955 and $1.00 respectively, claim_findings[21]) are also unverifiable from any publicly accessible source and should be attributed or removed.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
