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.

Two issues carry the most weight. First, claim_findings[3] identifies that the stated domain count of 3.45 million as of mid-2024 is materially incorrect — Porkbun's own press release from June 2024 confirms only 2 million domains at that date, with 3 million not reached until October 2025; this inflated figure also distorts the abuse-rate percentage cited throughout the page. Second, claim_findings[5] flags that the page's summary and section heading attribute a specific Porkbun call-out to ZachXBT, but no direct ZachXBT post naming Porkbun was found; this prominent attribution remains unverifiable. Additionally, claim_findings[27] marks the Angel Drainer March 2023 start date as disputed — security research consensus places emergence at mid-to-late 2023. The core thesis that Porkbun-registered phishing domains exist and that abuse response is slow is well-supported by confirmed PhishDestroy data and official sources.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
