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, claim_findings[25] is formally disputed: the page states the 30,000 ETH credit facility was worth 'approximately $127 million,' but Tier 1 sources (Yahoo Finance, Fortune) and ETH price data for April 27, 2026 (~$2,315–$2,380) confirm the correct figure was approximately $69–71 million — nearly half the stated amount. Additionally, the page slightly conflates the MNT portion of the treasury ($5.2 billion) with the full treasury total ($5.6 billion per Messari Q3 2025, claim_findings[16]), and attributes Polychain Capital as a named primary EcoFund backer without corroboration in primary sources (claim_findings[14]). Two high-priority coverage gaps — on-chain governance vote concentration and Bybit's regulatory exposure as it affects Mantle governance — are identified as warranting expansion before the page can be considered comprehensive.","score_delta":-7,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
