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 most notable internal inconsistency is the combination of '12 minutes' (which describes the 31 withdrawal transactions per TRM Labs) with the stated drain window of 16:05 to 18:31 UTC (which spans approximately 2.5 hours); these represent different phases of the attack and should be disambiguated. The DRIFT token ATH price of $2.96 is supported by CoinGecko but diverges across aggregators. One claim about NYDFS video verification guidance is unverifiable to its primary regulatory document. No claims directly contradict more credible sources, and no link rot was detected among sources that could be fetched.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
