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.

All major legal and regulatory facts — the SEC settlement amounts, lawsuit filing dates and parties, Wormhole hack details, FTX losses, and earlier regulatory actions — are confirmed by credible primary and secondary sources. The three unverifiable claims relate to point-in-time on-chain metrics from a dynamic Arkham page. The four partially-supported claims involve minor discrepancies: Kanav Kariya's intern start year (page says 2016, sources suggest approximately 2017), Firedancer adoption percentage (page says 26%, sources say approximately 20%), the Wormhole counter-exploit recovery framing ($140M vs. $225M gross), and the 50,000 bitcoin allegation against Jump which is directionally supported but unconfirmed in exact amount from available news sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
