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. 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}
