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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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}
