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.

Two issues stood out: the $47 million 'lifetime fees' figure is not supported by either source cited for it and could not be independently confirmed; and the KelpDAO/Lazarus sentence conflates the $292 million total size of that exploit with the (much smaller and unquantified) amount actually laundered through THORChain specifically, per the page's own cited source. The RUNE 'five-year low of $0.574 in December 2025' figure is cited to an article that does not discuss December 2025 at all, though the adjacent $20 2021 peak figure is independently confirmed.
