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.

Key deficiencies include: the pre-sale close date is stated as October 2021 but the official Alephium announcement is dated September 9, 2021; the 2018 founding year is not supported by the cited source; and the BNB chain drain timing is internally inconsistent (post-mortem data places BNB drains at 09:17:02-09:17:05, concurrent with Ethereum, not three seconds after the Ethereum leg completed at 09:17:59). No claims were found to be outright disputed by stronger sources; the partially-supported and unverifiable findings reflect sourcing gaps rather than factual contradictions.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
