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.

The reviewer computed a disputed_pct of 14.8%, falling in the 10-30% band. The most substantive correction needed is in claim_findings[1]: the page attributes 2015 as Akash Network's founding year throughout the summary and timeline, but multiple independent sources consistently date the network itself to March 2018 — the 2015 date reflects Overclock Labs' incorporation only. The one disputed claim (claim_findings[6]) is a stale market cap figure of $202M that overstates the current June 2026 value of approximately $179-181M by 10-13%. Additional corrections include the Mainnet 6 GPU upgrade date being off by approximately one month (claim_findings[25]: August vs September 2023), a stale GitHub repository count (claim_findings[24]: 49 vs ~65-68 current), and a dead citation URL for the ChainLight vulnerability report that requires updating to blog.chainlight.io (claim_findings[12]). None of the errors implicate fraud, regulatory status, or the page's core security and partnership claims, all of which are confirmed. One high-priority coverage gap remains open regarding whether the Burn Mint Equilibrium mechanism has been activated and its measurable impact.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
