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 Las Vegas Sphere campaign details, exchange listing dates, regulatory context, account hack details, and current market data are all confirmed by credible independent sources. Four claims are unverifiable (the specific 58% CEX exchange balance, Raydium pool liquidity figure, Nansen 2657-wallet count, and WIF 12% decline post-hack), and four are partially supported due to minor overstatements (ATH temporal proximity to fundraiser, launch price precision, mid-2025 price level, and the '$0.002' launch price vs the actual ATL). No claims were found to be disputed or contradicted by more credible sources, and no link rot was detected.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
