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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Helium Mobile (Nova Labs) is a legitimate, licensed MVNO and DePIN operator — not a fraudulent entity. The primary negative incident is a settled SEC civil action ($200K penalty) for investor misrepresentation during a 2021–2022 equity fundraise: Nova Labs falsely portrayed Lime, Nestle, and Salesforce as active network users in pitch materials, prompting cease-and-desist letters from those companies. This is a genuine governance and disclosure failure, properly attributed as own-fraud-or-negligence. However, the case is fully resolved (no-admit/no-deny settlement, unregistered-securities claims dismissed with prejudice), the company continues operating with 300K+ subscribers and carrier partnerships with AT&T and T-Mobile, and on June 2, 2026 the consumer-facing business was acquired by Noble Mobile (Andrew Yang's telecom startup). Secondary negatives — MOBILE token deprecation via community governance (HIP 138), Coinbase delisting of the legacy token, Zero Plan discontinuation, and the CEO's inflammatory \"parasites\" comment — are real reputational and consumer-experience concerns suitable for a CAUTIONARY flag, but none constitute unresolved severe incidents or elevated fraud risk. A score of 58/CAUTIONARY accurately reflects: a legitimate operator with a resolved (but real) investor-disclosure violation, documented consumer complaints, and a completed acquisition that signals credible third-party confidence in the business. The current 40/WARNING over-penalizes the entity by treating a settled civil penalty as an ongoing material risk and conflating a planned token governance migration with a fraud-driven loss event.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":6,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
