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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

All six claim_findings[0–5] are supported, and disputed_pct is 0%. The review establishes that ZKsync's current score of 38 (WARNING band) is miscalibrated: the April 2025 airdrop exploit affected only unclaimed reserve tokens — core user funds were never at risk — and ~$5.7M was recovered under a safe harbor agreement (claim_findings[1]). The Upbit price surge was caused by third-party market manipulators on a separate regulated exchange with no operational link to ZKsync (claim_findings[2]). The X account compromise was a phishing attack on delegated accounts, making ZKsync the victim (claim_findings[4]). The BANKEX lawsuit remains unresolved and denied (claim_findings[3]), and the entity is backed by credible institutional investors with no fraud conviction or exit-scam mechanics (claim_findings[5]). WARNING band is reserved for entities with elevated fraud/loss risk or unresolved severe incidents attributable to the entity itself; ZKsync fits CAUTIONARY (50–69). A score of 57 reflects the legitimate caveats — unresolved IP suit, two operational-security failures in one month, ecosystem engagement decline — without penalizing the entity for incidents it suffered. The page content is accurate and must remain published.","score_delta":19,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
