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.

However, the review found four framing and sourcing problems that a raw disputed-claim count does not capture: the page states the loss as a flat '$820,000' throughout even though its own cited sources report a real spread (claim_findings[7]: $772K-$830K, with one source explicitly noting $797K as a downward revision of the $820K figure the page uses); a '$500 million in historical private transaction volume' figure is not supported by any of the three sources cited for it and traces only to the protocol's own marketing copy (claim_findings[2]); the April 2024 raise is labeled a 'seed round' though the issuer calls it a 'strategic funding round,' and an earlier, larger $4.1M seed round from November 2023 is omitted entirely (claim_findings[3]); and the 'Protocol Response' section's 'as of August 20, 2026' status claim appears to predate a July 20, 2026 reimbursement-process announcement identified by the reviewer, albeit from a single source at moderate confidence (claim_findings[16], coverage_gaps[0], flagged high priority). Under the review rubric, a high-priority coverage gap warrants a revise verdict even when disputed_pct alone sits in the approve band, and that is the deciding factor here.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
