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 reviewer found 0% of content claims disputed — all six claim_findings are marked supported. The current score of 44 (WARNING band) is demonstrably too harsh because the penalties derive almost entirely from guilt-by-proximity: DPRK incidents affecting Favrr, Drift Protocol, and ElementalDeFi (claim_findings[2]) name other Solana projects as victims, not Superteam; the 'crime on superteam earn' social media quote (claim_findings[3]) is sourced from a thread that explicitly defends Superteam as a neutral marketplace, meaning the page inverts the framing; the Axiom insider trading timeline entry (claim_findings[5]) has zero documented connection to Superteam; and the ZachXBT flag cited as a primary risk driver was not located in any published ZachXBT post or report naming Superteam directly (claim_findings[0]). The real and legitimate risk — that Solana job boards are a sector-wide DPRK infiltration target — warrants a minor deduction from a clean score but not a WARNING classification. A score of 72 (VERIFIED band) correctly reflects a legitimate, well-documented entity operating in a higher-risk sector without itself being a victim, participant, or negligent party in any documented incident. The +28 delta corrects the miscalibration; page content is accurate and remains published.","score_delta":28,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
