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 core narrative (Gitcoin founding, Allo v2 launch, Grants Lab wind-down in 2025) is well corroborated by independent reporting. However, the GTC token price history section contains two claims directly contradicted by the page's own cited source (CoinMarketCap): the stated all-time high ($2.37, March 2024) and all-time low ($0.15, November 2025) are both incorrect — the real figures are roughly $22-29 (Nov 2021) and $0.064 (mid-2026) respectively. A financial figure in the wind-down section also misattributes Gitcoin's organization-wide revenue/expense gap specifically to the Grants Lab unit. Several aggregate impact figures ($67M/5,000 projects, partner list) could not be traced to a verifiable primary source.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
