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 two disputed claims (claim_findings[16], claim_findings[17]) are order-of-magnitude errors on GTC's all-time high and low, contradicted by the page's own cited CoinMarketCap source -- serious but confined to a token-price section rather than a core allegation about fraud, security, or regulatory conduct, all of which the review left clean or only unresolved as negative claims. The four unverifiable findings, especially claim_findings[7] (the $67M/5,000-project impact figures and named partner list), reflect untraceable aggregate statistics rather than contradicted facts, and the reviewer separately flags a real mischaracterization at claim_findings[9], where organization-wide Gitcoin financials are misattributed specifically to the Grants Lab unit. Two high-priority coverage gaps reinforce the need for revision: sourcing the impact figures and correcting the Grants Lab financial attribution. Weighed against this, the page's disambiguation of Allo Protocol from the unrelated Allora Network and Allo (RWA) is confirmed accurate (claim_findings[21]), which keeps the penalty moderate rather than severe.","score_delta":-11,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
