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 January 2022 hack details, token amounts, timing, law enforcement cooperation, fund recovery measures, and regulatory status all independently verify against primary and secondary sources. Two cited URLs are dead (CoinTelegraph hack story, GlobeNewswire MiCA press release), constituting link rot, though the underlying claims are confirmed through mirror sources. One minor imprecision was identified: the page slightly conflates the 45-minute asset-conversion window with the full theft-to-Tornado Cash timeline (which TRM Labs states was 1.5 hours). The claim that the LCX token has been formally classified under MiCA's utility token category is unverifiable from available Tier 1 or Tier 2 sources. No fabricated, disputed, or materially false claims were identified.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
