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.

The Sharpei section is strongly supported by Decrypt, Binance Square, and Web3 Is Going Great reporting with consistent figures. The weakest part of the page is the token-tracking section: the Solscan citation for 'Yelotree's Secret Launch' uses a different contract address than the one stated in the prose for the same token, an internal sourcing inconsistency that should be corrected, and the CoinSwitch citation for the YELO token could not be independently verified (its own stored archive snapshot is also generic rather than token-specific). No evidence contradicts any of the page's central claims.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
