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 13.5% disputed_pct is driven by four unverifiable claims and six partially-supported ones that carry real weight: claim_findings[2] shows the $212M total-raised figure directly contradicts the cited Crypto Adventure source (which reports ~$90M), making this a miscitation rather than a gap; claim_findings[24] and claim_findings[32] report the 61.72% governance vote percentage cannot be verified from any accessible source, and the primary CoinTelegraph citation for it returned a 404. Two high-priority coverage gaps — on-chain wallet analysis for the governance manipulation allegation and current USDR redemption status as of 2026 — also indicate the page needs expansion before it can be approved. These issues are correctable without undermining the page's well-documented core narrative.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
