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.

However, it misidentifies the custodian of the fund's actual Treasury holdings — naming Anchorage Digital and BitGo (which are optional custody providers for investors' own tokens) while omitting The Bank of New York Mellon, the custodian independently confirmed by the fund's own asset page and a third-party research source — an error repeated in two sections. It also misdates a load-bearing $967 million AUM figure by roughly four months relative to its own cited source, gives an inaccurate audit-completion date that contradicts the primary source cited for it, and contains three timeline entries whose specific days conflict with primary or contemporaneous sources. No adverse regulatory, fraud, or security findings were identified against the entity by this review, consistent with the page's own conclusion.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
