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.

The principal weaknesses are: (1) the 'five days before launch' Sherlock timing claim is not supported by the primary cited source (Rekt News), which describes an October cancellation followed by launch 'weeks later'; (2) the net loss figure of $1.28M represents 20% of the total nominal amount rather than the spot-value of the 300 ETH retained (~$1.04M), creating a modest overstatement; and (3) the Mirror post-mortem URL returns a 403 error. No disputed claims were found and the overall factual picture presented by the page is supported by multiple independent security research firms.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
