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.

Both disputed claims (claim_findings[2] and claim_findings[22]) target the same factual error repeated across two sections: the page states the ALCX token launched 'without a presale or external fundraising' and 'without external venture capital funding,' but multiple Tier 1 sources (CoinDesk, Cointelegraph) confirm a publicly announced $4.9M institutional token sale in March 2021 to Alameda Research, CMS Holdings, Nascent, and eGirl Capital. Because this funding claim appears in both the Protocol Overview and Team and Governance sections, and because it directly concerns protocol transparency and tokenomics, it carries above-average weight. Four additional claims are unverifiable due to inaccessible sources (The Defiant returned 403; the Alchemix governance forum failed to load), affecting incident-response details in the high-severity June 2021 section. The technical and security record is otherwise well-sourced. A correction to the VC-funding claim and updated citations for the inaccessible 2021 incident sources are required before this page should be re-approved.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
