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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 most material discrepancy is the AERO price surge figure (140% per Yahoo Finance vs. 77% per CoinDesk — different intraday snapshots), the unverified specific Spearbit audit finding counts (1C/8H/19M/30L) due to inaccessible source pages, and the '$1.3B TVL as of early 2026' claim which is plausible for January 2026 but is likely stale given TVL decline to ~$479-625M by mid-2026. A notable coverage gap is the page's omission of a prior ~$300K frontend attack in late 2023 mentioned in CoinDesk's November 2025 attack coverage.
