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.

Three claims were disputed: claim_findings[10] places the founding of Uniswap Labs Ventures in 2024 when official sources confirm April 2022; claim_findings[22] dates the Cork Protocol exploit to March 2025 when security analysis sources consistently date it to May 28, 2025; and claim_findings[23] places the Unichain mainnet launch concurrent with v4 on January 31, 2025 when CoinDesk and the Uniswap blog confirm a February 11, 2025 launch. None of the disputed items touch core regulatory findings, financial figures, or safety-critical claims, and reviewer confidence is high at 0.85. The page warrants targeted corrections to these three factual errors and a revised legal characterization of the Second Circuit's action (remand, not reinstatement) before republication.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
