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.

However, claim_findings[10] found that the page's 'Severity Context' section overstates the incident: it asserts as fact that an attacker 'was able to exfiltrate' secrets by 'bypassing the TEE protection,' when Phala's own disclosure only says a script 'may have accessed' the data and frames the flaw as an API authorization issue rather than a failure of the platform's confidential-computing guarantees — a materially graver claim about the vendor than the source supports, and one the page's own Limitations section (claim_findings[23]) already correctly hedges, producing an internal contradiction. A secondary date discrepancy in the zkSecurity audit timeline (claim_findings[18]) looks like a known formatting default rather than a substantive error, and one audit citation is dead though the underlying fact was confirmed elsewhere (claim_findings[16]). With disputed_pct at 12.5%, the page's core factual account is solid, but the overstated and self-contradictory severity framing is a genuine accuracy problem that calls for correction rather than denial.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
