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 primary factual errors are: (1) the alpha mainnet launch date in the section text is incorrectly stated as November 16, 2021 when it was October 4, 2021; (2) the original token unlock quantum is cited as 13.1% when primary sources say 13.4%; and (3) the claim that the zkLend attacker returned ~$3.2M is contradicted by substantial evidence that the attacker lost funds to a phishing site and zkLend wound down with minimal recovery. The Starknet-as-leading-ZK-rollup-by-TVL claim was accurate in May 2025 but appears stale by late 2025/2026 given ZKsync Era's subsequent recovery. Three Arrows Capital's investor status was not independently verifiable from searched sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
