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.

The WARNING score of 40 is demonstrably miscalibrated because every cited incident involves third-party actors (Angel Drainer, Inferno Drainer operators) abusing Porkbun's neutral registrar infrastructure, which is an industry-wide pattern also seen at GoDaddy, Namecheap, and NameSilo. Two findings are particularly load-bearing: claim_findings[2] shows the central ZachXBT allegation is unverifiable as a Porkbun-specific indictment — it conflates general drainer investigations with a registrar-level charge — and claim_findings[3] shows the chatdefi.app 'one month of inaction' example is contradicted by PhishDestroy's own data showing a 20-day takedown. Porkbun's phishing domain rate (~0.026% of portfolio) places it well below industry bad actors and outside the top 20 registrars by phishing domain count (claim_findings[1]). A CAUTIONARY score of 62 accurately reflects real but marginal third-party-abuse caveats without implying fraud or negligence that the evidence does not support.","score_delta":22,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
