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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Gala Games is a legitimate, continuing blockchain gaming operator that has experienced serious but categorizable incidents: (1) a civil insider-dispute lawsuit between co-founders with unresolved competing allegations, (2) a May 2024 access-control exploit causing ~$21.8M in realized losses (mostly recovered), and (3) an SEC enforcement action against co-founder Thurston for a wholly separate crypto mining scheme. None of these establish that the entity itself is fraudulent. A score of 10/CRITICAL requires evidence of fraud, scam mechanics, or Ponzi structure — none of which appears in the page's own evidence base or in independent sources. The page's own timeline uses the word 'Alleged' for the Thurston token transfer, yet the score treats it as confirmed fraud. The correct band is WARNING (20-49): Gala has material, unresolved legal exposure, a history of poor internal controls, and a co-founder under active SEC litigation, but it is an operating platform with active games, a live tokenomics governance process as of April 2026, and no adjudicated finding of entity-level fraud. A score of 28 reflects the seriousness of the incidents while correctly distinguishing between 'suffered by / associated with a bad actor co-founder' and 'is itself a fraudulent scheme.'","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
