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.

However, there is a significant, repeated date error: the Foundation's 25% workforce reduction and relocation from Singapore to Delaware occurred in 2026 (board/relocation announced January 14, 2026; layoffs announced March 18-19, 2026), not 2025 as stated in the summary, in Sections 6 and 10, and in the timeline — where it is incorrectly conflated with CTO John Woods's unrelated, genuinely-2025 departure (he left in May 2025 and was succeeded by Nikolaos Bougalis in September 2025, contradicting the page's 'concurrently... no immediate replacement announced' framing). Separately, the claimed November 2021 all-time-high price of $2.82 is wrong by the page's own cited source (CoinGecko): ALGO's actual all-time high is approximately $3.56, set in June 2019. A few granular claims (MyAlgo's CDN/JavaScript root cause, TinyMan's precise liquidity cascade figures, current TVL snapshots) could not be independently verified due to paywalled/blocked sources or time-sensitive data, and are marked unverifiable rather than disputed.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
