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 single disputed claim (claim_findings[35]) concerns the TVL peak figure of $2.5 billion, which DeFiLlama's own published data and multiple secondary sources place at $1.2–1.9 billion — a meaningful overstatement in a low-severity section. Five partially supported findings are minor in weight: two involve condensed or truncated quotes that preserve the substance (claim_findings[13] and [14]), one is a founder title discrepancy ('co-founder' vs. 'founder' per official sources, claim_findings[32]), one is a 19-day date error on the SWIFT announcement in the timeline (claim_findings[45]), and one involves an arithmetic inconsistency in a source-cited treasury wallet figure that the page does not flag (claim_findings[24]). A high-priority coverage gap on independent on-chain verification of the treasury wallet selling allegation is noted and warrants expansion before the page should be considered fully substantiated on that point.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
