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 material claims covering funding rounds, investor identities, founder backgrounds, product figures, and regulatory clean record are confirmed across multiple independent sources. The three partially-supported findings (claim_findings[4], claim_findings[15], claim_findings[23]) are minor: an inaccurate characterization of the icodrops listing as a separate entity, an unconfirmed patent registration number, and a product launch sourced only from a self-service press wire. None affect the page's core risk or trust signal. The single unverifiable claim (claim_findings[13], James Liu's degree) is non-material. No link rot, stale citations, or high-priority coverage gaps were identified.
