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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Porkbun is a demonstrably legitimate ICANN-accredited domain registrar with USA Today's #1 ranking for three consecutive years, no ICANN breach notices on record, and a phishing domain rate (~0.026% of portfolio) that places it well outside the industry's worst offenders. The page's WARNING score of 40 is driven primarily by third-party actors — Angel Drainer and Inferno Drainer operators — who registered phishing domains through Porkbun's neutral registrar infrastructure, a practice that also occurs at GoDaddy, Namecheap, and every major registrar. The page's key aggravating claim — that ZachXBT specifically flagged Porkbun — is unverifiable from any indexed source and conflates general crypto phishing investigations with a registrar-specific indictment. The lone concrete example of a slow abuse response (chatdefi.app) is actually contradicted by PhishDestroy's own data, which shows the domain was taken down in 20 days, not 30+. A CAUTIONARY score of 62 is appropriate: Porkbun has a real and documented phishing domain problem at the margins of its portfolio, and its abuse response times are imperfect, but these are legitimate third-party-abuse caveats, not evidence of fraud or negligence rising to WARNING severity.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
