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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. SushiSwap is a legitimate, continuously operating decentralized exchange — not a fraudulent entity. The three incidents driving the low score (Chef Nomi, SEC subpoena, RouterProcessor2 exploit) are each materially misrepresented in severity: Chef Nomi returned all funds, the SEC subpoena resulted in no charges, and the $3.3M exploit was partially recovered with reimbursements paid. The page retroactively links SBF's 2020 multisig stewardship to his 2023 FTX conviction, a guilt-by-association inference the page's own cited timeline does not support. The protocol has ongoing audits (Pashov partnership Aug 2025), generates $25M in annualized fees, and launched Sushi Labs with new leadership in December 2025. Material caveats that justify keeping it from the VERIFIED band include: (1) the December 2025 single-wallet governance vote concentrating 99.9% of voting power, (2) unresolved SEC investigation status, (3) TVL decline of ~98.7% from peak $8B to ~$35M indicating severe competitive erosion, and (4) unverified North Korean IT worker allegations. A CAUTIONARY score of 52 reflects a legitimate operator with material governance and regulatory caveats, not a fraud/scam risk, consistent with the post-policy band semantics.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
