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.

Disputed_pct is effectively 0%, well within the review_approve threshold. The calibration correction is the primary action here: the page's current CRITICAL score of 10 is demonstrably miscalibrated. The entity's defining event — a $234.9M hack confirmed by a US/Japan/South Korea joint statement (claim_findings[1], claim_findings[8]) — is a suffered nation-state cyberattack, not own-fraud. Own-conduct findings are limited to 2022 AML compliance failures (ED raid, claim_findings[2]) and an overreaching XRP redistribution attempt blocked by the Madras High Court (claim_findings[14]), neither of which meets the CRITICAL bar. A score of 42 (WARNING band) correctly reflects genuine but non-criminal own-conduct issues alongside an externally perpetrated primary harm.","score_delta":32,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
