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.

However, two accuracy issues require revision: (1) claim_findings[21] and the high-priority coverage gap both identify that the page incorrectly describes Private Proofs of Innocence as 'a mandatory requirement for all transactions,' when official Railgun documentation states the protocol itself does not enforce PPOI — enforcement is at the wallet or relayer level only. This distinction is material for regulatory and risk analysis. (2) claim_findings[27] flags the RAIL token market cap ($82 million, CoinGecko rank ~#329) as stale — current data shows approximately $170 million and rank ~#200 as of June 2026. Additionally, the reviewer surfaces an unresolved coverage gap regarding a reported DCG $10 million strategic investment that, if confirmed, would directly contradict the page's claim of no VC investors or equity holders. These items warrant correction before the page is considered current.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
