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.

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Chain as a planned addition targeting Q1 2026, when the mainnet launched March 17, 2026, making this section materially outdated; (3) claim_findings[37] is partially_supported with inconsistency — the page attributes ~28% open interest market share to Hyperliquid in early 2026, but the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}
