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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Internet Computer (DFINITY) is a functioning, actively developed layer-1 blockchain with $1.76B market cap, 1B+ Q1 2026 transactions, on-chain governance (Mission 70 passed April 2026), and no unresolved regulatory or legal exposure. All securities class-action litigation — both state and federal — has been resolved in DFINITY's favor, with the California appellate court affirming on January 30, 2026 that DFINITY was not a statutory seller. The fraud claims were never adjudicated on the merits; dismissals were on procedural/standing grounds. The primary risk factors — the 95% post-launch price crash in 2021, the Arkham insider-token analysis, and asymmetric vesting — are real reputational and transparency concerns, but they do not constitute confirmed fraud. Under AVOID.NET's post-policy band semantics, WARNING (20-49) requires 'elevated fraud/loss risk or unresolved severe incident'; with all litigation resolved in the entity's favor and the network actively operating, CAUTIONARY (50-69) is the appropriate band — 'legitimate with material caveats.' A score of 52 reflects the genuine 2021 launch-transparency issues (asymmetric vesting, opacity around foundation token sales) while not penalizing the entity as if fraud were confirmed or incidents were unresolved.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
