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 $63.3M deficit is only partly supported, since The Block says over $50M. The ZachXBT flag has no direct source. TVL and price claims could not be read. The page appears to omit a second exploit (Oct 2026, about $18K) reported by DefiLlama via a search snippet only. The review is limited by 403s on Medium and DefiLlama and by skipped checks of the Wisconsin order and the ATH/ATL figures.","reviewer_def_hash":"3839668b232611e5b26db72079d64745f8e57e919b8a379e79b44ba4a52c845b","score_delta":0,"scored_claims":7,"sequence_num":2,"subject_status":"exploited","subject_status_contradicts_page":true,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
