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 factual claims regarding the March 2026 cyberattack — attack date, vector, data exposure scope, attribution rationale, recovery timeline, and Bitrefill's financial commitments — are confirmed by Tier-1 sources including BleepingComputer, The Record, and CoinDesk. One claim is partially supported: the page asserts North Korean hackers have stolen 'over $6.8 billion in cryptocurrency since 2022,' but independent sources consistently cite approximately $6.75 billion since 2016, making the time-window and amount both slightly inaccurate. One claim (the Cyble independent analysis) is unverifiable due to a 403 access error on the cited URL, though the URL itself is not dead. No link rot or direct contradictions with reputable sources were found.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
