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.

The May 11, 2026 incident details, wallet origin analysis, @k0braca1 analyst findings, comparative Telegram bot incidents, and SIGMA's silence are all independently confirmed. Two source URLs are inaccessible (CoinTelegraph 404, Defiant 403) and one ForkLog quote lacks a traceable citation, but the underlying facts in all three cases are verified through alternative sources. The most significant structural gap is the absence of direct on-chain trace evidence and documented inspection of SIGMA's own post-incident communication channels, which would further substantiate the central attribution and no-response claims.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":6,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
