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.

The factual claims about protocol history, upgrades, team composition, audits, and market metrics are confirmed by multiple independent sources. The most significant accuracy issue is that the regulatory section describing the SEC-Consensys lawsuit as an 'ongoing legal question' as of mid-2026 is stale — the SEC dropped all charges in February 2025. Secondary issues include the Snapshot reference in the governance section (governance moved fully on-chain with Houston), minor imprecision on the TVL figures and RPL ATH data, and one broken CoinTelegraph URL. No claims were found to directly contradict a more credible current source.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
