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.

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}
