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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. THORChain DEX is a legitimate, still-operating decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol with real infrastructure, $68M+ TVL, and $118B in cumulative trading volume. A CRITICAL band score of 14 requires evidence of fraud, scam, or Ponzi mechanics under the platform's own band semantics; no such evidence exists in the page or in independent sources. The incidents driving the score are of three types: (a) external security exploits the protocol suffered (2021 hacks, May 2026 vault breach); (b) third-party abuse by Lazarus Group using the protocol as a laundering conduit — with a genuine negligence component in that governance voted against blocking the transactions and node operators profited; and (c) the THORFi lending collapse, which reflects serious design negligence and mismanagement but is characterized even by Dragonfly Capital as 'the first on-chain restructuring,' not an exit scam. The correct band is WARNING (20-49), reflecting elevated loss risk, unresolved legal action, and documented governance failures, while acknowledging the protocol continues to operate and is not itself a fraud. A score of 28 reflects serious but non-fraudulent risk: the THORFi insolvency is a material mismanagement event, the Lazarus facilitation creates genuine OFAC/legal exposure, and the recurring security exploits raise long-term viability questions — but none of these individually or collectively constitute the fraud/scam evidence required for CRITICAL.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
