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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. KyberSwap (Kyber Network) is a legitimate, long-operating decentralized exchange aggregator that was the victim of a technically sophisticated external exploit on November 22, 2023. The attacker, Andean Medjedovic, exploited a precision-rounding vulnerability in KyberSwap Elastic's tick-based swap mechanism — a bug that was missed in prior audits. KyberSwap responded with a Treasury Grant Program compensating affected LPs at 60–100% of losses, and Kyber Network disclosed the full post-mortem publicly. The U.S. DOJ indicted Medjedovic in February 2025 on five counts; he remains a fugitive. None of these facts indicate fraud, exit-scam mechanics, or Ponzi-like conduct by KyberSwap. The current WARNING score of 38 conflates the severity of the loss event with culpability of the entity. Under the calibrated band semantics, KyberSwap belongs in CAUTIONARY (50–69) — legitimate operator with material caveats — because: (1) approximately $48.8M in user funds were lost with no full recovery; (2) the attacker remains at large and is actively laundering proceeds via Tornado Cash as of April 2026; and (3) the exploit forced a 50% workforce cut, raising questions about long-term platform viability. A score of 55 reflects a legitimate operator that suffered a major, unresolved incident and is still operating but with residual risk for users of its Elastic pools.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
