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.

L2Beat independently confirms Loopring is a live Stage 0 ZK Rollup with real infrastructure (claim_findings[2]), and exchange delistings were driven by business viability concerns rather than fraud findings (claim_findings[3]). The current score of 32 (WARNING band) is miscalibrated: the primary incident is clearly an attack suffered by the entity, not fraud committed by it, and the subsequent operational wind-downs represent an orderly pivot rather than an exit scam (claim_findings[4,5]). A positive score adjustment of +22 to reach 54 (CAUTIONARY) correctly reflects the real material caveats — a genuine security incident, significant TVL decline, major exchange delistings, and leadership turnover — while removing the unwarranted fraud-level penalty.","score_delta":22,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
