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.

However, 4 claims are only partially supported and 3 are unverifiable, placing the disputed_pct at approximately 11.5%. The core exploit facts — $815,000 loss, per-asset breakdown, governance burn figures, root cause characterization, and team response — are all well-sourced. The deficiencies are: the pre-sale close date is stated as October 2021 but the official Alephium announcement is September 9, 2021 (claim_findings[5] and claim_findings[25]); the 2018 founding year cited in claim_findings[4] and claim_findings[24] is not supported by any cited source; and the BNB chain drain timestamp in claim_findings[16] places events at 09:18:02 UTC when post-mortem data shows they occurred at 09:17:02-09:17:05, concurrent with the Ethereum leg rather than after it. Three high-priority coverage gaps — on-chain forensic citations, compensation plan status, and absence of primary Alephium blog sources — also require attention before the page is considered fully substantiated.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
