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 page requires revision primarily because claim_findings[8] — the stated TVL range of $2–3.15 billion — is directly contradicted by the page's own cited source, DeFiLlama, which shows approximately $1.4 billion as of early 2026, a material overstatement. Three additional claims are partially supported with minor discrepancies (a one-day date error in claim_findings[11], a conflicting Inferno Drainer victim count in claim_findings[28], and an uncertain veBAL percentage in claim_findings[32]), and three on-chain analytics claims are unverifiable from primary sources. No link rot or high-priority coverage gaps were identified. The page is fundamentally sound and does not warrant denial or investigation status, but the TVL figure must be corrected before the page accurately reflects current protocol standing.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
