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.

All criminal, regulatory, and bankruptcy findings — including the DOJ sentencing, SEC/CFTC/FTC actions, and Chapter 11 proceedings — are confirmed by primary sources at Tier 1. No claims are outright disputed. Six claims are partially supported: most significantly, claim_findings[7] presents the ICO raise as '$50 million' without noting this was Mashinsky's false public figure; DOJ documents establish the actual raise was approximately $32 million, a documented fraud element. Claim_findings[14] materially understates the StakeHound incident: the page states a $50 million loss, but the 35,000 ETH alone was worth approximately $70 million at June 2021 prices, and Celsius's own 2023 lawsuit values total StakeHound exposure (including MATIC and DOT) at over $150 million. These two items are flagged as high-priority coverage gaps and warrant correction before the page is treated as authoritative on Celsius's pre-collapse risk failures.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
