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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Linea is a legitimate zkEVM Layer 2 network built and maintained by Consensys, a well-established Ethereum infrastructure company. The two incidents driving the WARNING score are (1) the June 2024 Velocore DEX hack, where the vulnerability was in a third-party application's smart contracts and Linea's controversial but protective response was to halt its centralized sequencer, and (2) the September 2025 TGE chaos, which featured real operational failures (sequencer degradation, delayed airdrop funding) but no confirmed fraud by the entity itself. The Consensys/MetaMask SEC action was fully dismissed in February 2025 without fines, making it a stale risk factor. Against these concerns, Linea has demonstrated substantial legitimacy: $1B+ TVL, SWIFT's selection of Linea for a 30+ bank cross-border payments prototype (September 2025), Uniswap deployment (April 2026), Chainlink integration, Linux Foundation governance handoff of the ZK stack, and a published decentralization roadmap targeting permissioned block-building in 2026. The real and material caveat warranting a score below VERIFIED is the confirmed Stage 0 classification on L2Beat — zero-second upgrade delays, no permissionless exit, and full sequencer/prover centralization represent genuine user risk. CAUTIONARY (58) correctly captures a legitimate, actively-used platform with documented, disclosed centralization risks and one chaotic-but-not-fraudulent token launch.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
