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.

The most significant finding is that the veIDO date is stated as July 2022 across the page and timeline, while official Lifinity documentation and contemporaneous news sources definitively place the event on April 23 2022. The primary CoinTelegraph citation for the December 2023 pool drainage incident returns HTTP 404 (link rot), though the underlying facts are strongly corroborated by Cryptopolitan independently. The claimed $150B lifetime volume figure is modestly overstated relative to DeFiLlama on-chain data showing $139.97B. No disputed claims involving fabricated facts or bad-faith misrepresentation were identified.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
