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 main factual error is attributing the Breakpoint 2023 presentation to Anas Khader when it was delivered by co-founder Zoheb Shahzan. Protocol metrics (TVL, fees, FAF price/ATH) are stale but not directionally wrong. The claim of no critical or high-severity audit findings is potentially misleading given the Offside Labs 2025 audit disclosed multiple named findings whose severity was not independently confirmable from accessible sources. The Block citation URL returns 403 (link rot). No exploits or regulatory actions were found in any independent source.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
