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 core fraud allegations — the fake Gemini chatbot, 7x return projections, fabricated endorsements, and wallet addresses — are all confirmed by the primary Malwarebytes Tier 2 source and corroborated by multiple independent outlets. The partially_supported findings (claim_findings[2] and [8] omit Google from the banner list; claim_findings[20] attributes the Chainalysis report to January 14 when the source post is dated January 13; claim_findings[21] dates the Fox News article to February 19 when it was actually published March 9) are enumeration gaps and minor date errors in contextual material, none of which affect the fraud determination. The single unverifiable finding (claim_findings[13], bonus tier percentages) is a peripheral presale detail. The high-priority coverage gap on on-chain wallet fund flows is noted for future expansion but does not impugn existing claims.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
