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.

Five partially-supported findings are minor in character: claim_findings[2] overstates investor count (300+ reported vs 150+ evidenced); claim_findings[22] presents a now-superseded ATL price snapshot ($0.01061 as of May 21 vs $0.009002 confirmed ATL as of May 28); claim_findings[23] reflects an unresolved ATH discrepancy between CoinGecko ($2.61) and CoinMarketCap ($0.5021); and claim_findings[10] misattributes multi-stage reconnaissance language to 'security researchers' when it originated from Syndicate Labs' own disclosure. No claims were actively disputed by a credible counter-source. Two high-priority coverage gaps — absence of on-chain forensic evidence and no link to an official post-mortem — warrant revision to strengthen verifiability of the exploit section.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
