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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Wormhole is a legitimate, actively operating cross-chain messaging protocol that suffered a third-party exploit in February 2022. The hack was due to a deprecated Solana function, not fraud or intentional negligence by the entity. Jump Crypto made users whole within 24 hours, and by July 2024 all stolen assets were recovered via court proceedings (over $400M in value). The page's most significant factual error is stating '$140M remain unrecovered as of 2026' — this is stale: the recovery was completed in full on July 19, 2024. The protocol has since raised $225M, launched a governance token at a $3B+ FDV, and continues operations with $65B+ in processed transactions and institutional partners including BlackRock, Circle, and Uniswap. The Jump Crypto regulatory actions (CFTC probe, $123M SEC settlement) relate to Terra/UST conduct entirely separate from Wormhole. Under the post-policy band semantics, a score of 34/WARNING is mis-banded: there is no unresolved severe incident (recovery is complete), no fraud by the entity, and the protocol is actively operating with material institutional backing. A CAUTIONARY score of 62 is appropriate — the 2022 exploit warrants a permanent caveat about bridge security history and the indirect regulatory cloud from the Jump Crypto parent era, but the entity itself is legitimate and the loss event has been resolved.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
