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.

All major legal, regulatory, and financial facts — including the SEC settlement amounts (claim_findings[7–9]), the Terraform lawsuit details (claim_findings[10–12]), Wormhole hack figures (claim_findings[19–20]), and the FTX loss breakdown (claim_findings[22–23]) — are confirmed by Tier 1 or credible Tier 2 sources. The four partially-supported findings (claim_findings[4], [5], [12], [21]) involve minor discrepancies: a one-year intern start date ambiguity, a 6-point validator adoption overage for Firedancer, an unconfirmed BTC count from a complaint, and a contested net-versus-gross framing for the Oasis recovery. Three unverifiable claims (claim_findings[24], [26]) are dynamic on-chain snapshots from Arkham Intel that cannot be pinned to static news sources — these are inherent to on-chain reporting and do not reflect inaccuracy. Three high-priority coverage gaps (CFTC probe resolution, Kim class action status, Terraform suit progress) are noted for future expansion but do not bear on the accuracy of current content.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
