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.

One claim did not hold up: the page says stolen funds reached the exchange Bilaxy, but the evidence points to Bilaxy having suffered its own separate, unrelated hack around the same time, meaning the page appears to have merged two different incidents into one (claim_findings[13]). Separately, the page's account effectively ends in 2023 and does not mention bitFlyer's 2024 acquisition of the FTX Japan/Liquid Japan business or the 2025 FTX creditor payouts, which the review flags as directly relevant to readers trying to find out whether Liquid customers recovered their funds (coverage_gaps[0]). Overall accuracy is high (only 1 of 50 claims disputed, 3 unverifiable, mostly due to a low-credibility source or an inherently unprovable negative claim), but the two high-priority gaps mean the page needs updating before it can be called fully current.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
