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.

All six claim findings (claim_findings[0]–[5]) were confirmed supported with 0% disputed. The reviewer (confidence 0.82) correctly identified three mis-calibrations that artificially depressed the score: the T3 FCU $100M freeze milestone (claim_findings[5]) was listed as a negative timeline event when it is a cooperative anti-crime enforcement milestone; exchange hacks at Poloniex and HTX (claim_findings[2]) are suffered-by-entity incidents against Sun-affiliated exchanges, not TRON protocol fraud; and the 58% illicit-finance statistic (claim_findings[1]) was presented without the TRM Labs context that TRON's illicit volume fell $6B year-over-year and that TRON co-founded the T3 FCU. TRON is a functional top-8 blockchain with substantial legitimate adoption (claim_findings[4]) and genuine but accurately documented risk factors — SEC case settled with no conviction, governance centralization, and ongoing illicit-finance exposure — that appropriately keep it in the WARNING band. A +10 score_modifier_delta moves the score from 28 to 38, remaining in WARNING, while correcting the attribution errors.
