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 core risk allegations — the DeFiLlama wash trading delisting, extreme 1001x leverage, pseudonymous team, Binance-dependent USDF architecture, and extreme token concentration — are all confirmed by credible sources. However, three specific errors drive the upper-band penalty: (1) claim_findings[31] is formally disputed by a Tier 1 source — the page incorrectly states no audit firm names or report links were publicly identifiable, when Aster's documentation at docs.asterdex.com/overview/audit-reports names Salus Security, PeckShield, and Halborn and provides file links; (2) claim_findings[14] is marked stale — the page describes Aster Chain as a planned addition targeting Q1 2026, when the mainnet launched March 17, 2026, making this section materially outdated; (3) claim_findings[37] is partially_supported with inconsistency — the page attributes ~28% open interest market share to Hyperliquid in early 2026, but the cited KuCoin source states Hyperliquid held over 70% of open interest by March 2026. The market rank figure (#54 stated vs #44 on CoinMarketCap) and peak TVL claim ($1.48B stated vs up to $2.21B per other sources) are additional inaccuracies requiring correction. No high-severity coverage gaps indicate fabricated claims; the gaps suggest expansion and update, consistent with a revise verdict.","score_delta":-15,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
