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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Solana is a legitimate, top-5 cryptocurrency network by market capitalization with an operating mainnet since March 2020. Its trust score of 35/100 (WARNING band) is inconsistent with the entity's actual profile. Nearly every incident cited on the page is attributable to third parties: the Drift $285M hack was a DPRK social engineering attack on Drift Protocol's governance team; the Slope Finance $8M hack was caused entirely by Slope's app negligence; the Pump.fun/Raydium fraud statistics reflect ecosystem-level token issuer abuse, not Solana Foundation conduct; and the FTX/Alameda price impact was collateral damage from a third-party collapse. The page's primary regulatory claim — the SEC v. Coinbase action listing SOL as an unregistered security — is stale: it was dismissed with prejudice in February 2025. Furthermore, the page's own timeline shows SOL reaching a $294 all-time high in January 2025, and the network has run without a major outage since February 2024. Legitimate material caveats remain: ongoing class action litigation (Young v. Solana Labs, still active through 9th Circuit appeal as of 2024), historical network reliability issues, and significant ecosystem-level fraud risk on meme coin launchpads. These justify a CAUTIONARY band (50-69) rather than WARNING. A score of 62 reflects these material-but-not-disqualifying concerns while correctly classifying Solana as a legitimate operator associated with external loss events rather than an entity engaging in fraud.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
