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, there are meaningful factual errors in the funding history: the page incorrectly attributes the $5.5M amount and Road Capital's participation to the September 2024 round when these belong to the January 2026 round. The Cork Phoenix launch date is reported as January 19, 2026, but available sources indicate January 8, 2026. The on-chain attacker messages (June 19-20) are conflated with the June 25 Tornado Cash transfers in the narrative. Several official Cork URLs returned HTTP 403, limiting direct verification of post-exploit and Phoenix-related claims.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
