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.

Both major loss events are correctly and consistently attributed to causes outside Astroport's own conduct (ecosystem-wide UST/LUNA collapse; a chain-level Terra ibc-go vulnerability), and the page explicitly avoids conflating Terraform Labs' fraud liability with Astroport itself. The main defects found are: (1) the range.org source cited for the July 2024 exploit section is now dead — the domain has been repurposed to an unrelated fintech product, a genuine link-rot instance; blog.astroport.fi also returned connection errors on two citations; (2) the Terraform Labs/Do Kwon description understates the current adjudicated status (jury verdict + $4.5B judgment + Do Kwon's 15-year criminal sentence), all of which post-date the 'charging with fraud' language used; (3) the mid-2025 market cap figure and the Cointelegraph citation for 'team anonymity' are weakly supported; (4) the page omits whether victims of the July 2024 exploit were ever made whole. No unhedged allegations against Astroport were found — editorial hedging throughout the exploit and SEC-adjacent sections is appropriate.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
