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 four partially_supported findings (claim_findings[2], [21], [22], [23]) concern peripheral details: investor count conflation across funding rounds, ATH price discrepancy between CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, a since-superseded ATL figure, and the derivative 99.5% decline calculation. None of these undermine the page's core allegations regarding the exploit mechanics, wind-down rationale, or user compensation. The two unverifiable claims (claim_findings[25], [28]) are minor ancillary figures that do not affect the investigation's integrity. All three accepted submissions were evaluated as supporting their labeled valence. The two high-priority coverage gaps (on-chain transaction hashes, ATH aggregator discrepancy) recommend expansion rather than correction.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
