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.

Two factual errors were found: the sentence pairing a '93%' price collapse with a '$41.7 million' market cap in the Token Launch section is internally inconsistent with the cited TRM Labs/Halborn reporting, which pairs that $41.7M figure with a 91% drop; and the on-chain section states a sniper wallet sold '135.8 million tokens,' when the matching source (which independently confirms the same wSOL entry price and profit figure) reports 195.8 million tokens. A timeline date (SEC inquiry closure, stored as 2025-03-31) is a few days later than the best-supported source date of March 27, 2025. The $3 million Tuah The Moon Foundation fee figure, which looked potentially inflated against lower team-fee estimates from other outlets, turned out to be an accurate characterization of the lawsuit complaint's own allegation once the original complaint coverage was checked. The page would benefit from a 2026 litigation-status check, since no post-April-2025 docket development is reported.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
