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 review independently confirmed nearly all of this and found the page's core conclusion -- that no Tier 1 or Tier 2 outlet corroborates a $127M June 2026 bridge exploit -- to be solid, even turning up additional evidence (a fabricated 'Wormhole February breach' reference in the page's sole named source) that reinforces the page's skepticism (claim_findings[0]). The one real inaccuracy is claim_findings[3], which is disputed: the page calls the Syscoin incident the 'only' large verifiable June 2026 bridge exploit, but a comparably sized or larger incident (Humanity Protocol, ~$32-36M, Tier 1-reported) occurred the same month and should have been acknowledged. That overstatement affects a secondary framing point, not the page's central thesis, and is compounded by one partially-supported technical detail (claim_findings[9]) and one unverifiable price statistic (claim_findings[12]). With the tally standing at 17 confirmed, 1 partially supported, 1 disputed, 1 unverifiable out of 20 claims, disputed_pct lands exactly at the 10% boundary between approve and revise; given a real, citable inaccuracy exists (however minor) and reviewer confidence is solid but not maximal, this resolves to the low end of revise rather than approve.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
