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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Gemini Exchange (Gemini Trust Company) is a legitimately regulated, publicly listed cryptocurrency exchange operating under a 2015 NYDFS Limited Purpose Trust Charter and a 2025 Malta MiCA license. Its current trust score of 44/WARNING over-penalizes it by treating concluded or contested regulatory matters as live, unresolved fraud risks. The principal incident — the Gemini Earn/Genesis collapse — resulted in full 232% in-kind customer recovery by May 2024, the SEC dismissed its lawsuit with prejudice in January 2026 citing that recovery, and the NYDFS consent order has been discharged. The CFTC's $5M penalty is now subject to a formal motion to vacate from the CFTC itself, with the agency chair publicly alleging Gemini was politically targeted. The 2022 data breach was a third-party supply-chain incident through Twilio/Authy. The page's own summary undercuts a WARNING rating by disclosing these resolutions. Material ongoing concerns — a $582M net loss in 2025, 30% workforce reduction, UK/EU/Australia market exits, simultaneous CFO/COO/CLO departures, and an active securities class action alleging IPO misrepresentation — are real and justify a CAUTIONARY rather than VERIFIED rating, but do not constitute fraud indicators. A score of 58/CAUTIONARY accurately reflects a licensed, operating, publicly accountable entity with significant but non-fraudulent business and legal headwinds.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
