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. Scroll is a legitimate, well-funded Ethereum Layer 2 zkEVM operated by credentialed founders (Sandy Peng, Ye Zhang, Haichen Shen), backed by Polychain Capital and Bain Capital Crypto, that raised $83M in documented VC rounds. None of the incidents documented on the page constitute fraud by Scroll itself: the gas fee overcharge ($50K excess across 139K transactions) was a manual configuration error, not intentional misappropriation; the SCR airdrop whale concentration, while legitimately criticized, is a governance/design decision within normal industry parameters for L2 token launches; the Security Council dissolution was a documented cost-cutting response to ecosystem outflows. The page's WARNING band (20–49) requires elevated fraud or loss risk or unresolved severe incident — none of these incidents meet that threshold individually or collectively. Critically, the page omits Scroll's April 2025 Euclid upgrade, which made it the first ZK-rollup to achieve Stage 1 decentralization (confirmed by CoinDesk), and it misdescribes the gas oracle multiplier as '160x increase' when the actual cumulative increase was 1,280x (160x was the corrective reduction). The correct band is CAUTIONARY (50–69): a legitimate protocol with material operational caveats — declining TVL, governance centralization concerns, and a documented fee configuration error — but no fraud or unresolved severe incident. A score of 58 reflects the documented operational and governance concerns without penalizing mere market-cycle TVL contraction.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
