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.

The current score of 36 (WARNING band) was driven by two signals the reviewer identified as miscalibrated: a 93%+ token price decline that reflects broad altcoin market conditions rather than fraud or negligence by Celestia Labs (claim_findings[3], claim_findings[4]), and unproven insider-selling allegations that the CEO publicly denied and that produced no enforcement action or on-chain proof (claim_findings[3]). Third-party phishing activity documented on the page is brand abuse by unaffiliated actors and does not implicate Celestia itself. Residual material caveats — aggressive VC unlock schedules, heavy token inflation, Polychain's staking-reward sales, and the Lotus upgrade's partial remediation — are real and the page accurately presents them; these warrant CAUTIONARY (50–69) rather than WARNING. A positive delta of +18 moves the score from 36 to 54, consistent with the reviewer's recommendation and the revised band semantics for legitimate operators with material but non-fraudulent risk factors.","score_delta":18,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
