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.

Two material issues were found: (1) the Twitter handle for the on-chain analyst is cited as '@DefistalkerAlt' but all sources confirm it was '@DefiStalker'; (2) the Meerkat Finance rug-pull date is stated as March 5, 2021, but primary sources consistently date it to March 4, 2021. The CoinTelegraph cited URL returned a 404, constituting one instance of link rot. The SlowMist audit claim cites supporting sources that do not mention SlowMist; that claim traces to team self-disclosure in the AMA. No claims were found to be affirmatively disputed by more credible sources. Given the confirmed exit-scam nature of the project, a very low trust score is appropriate.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
