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.

Three material factual errors were identified: (1) GHO stablecoin circulation is stated as '$3.5 billion by mid-2025' when actual figures show approximately $500-584 million — an overstatement of roughly 6x; (2) the 'combined ecosystem TVL approaching $25 billion' is significantly stale given the post-KelpDAO TVL decline that brought combined Aave TVL to approximately $14.5 billion by May 2026; (3) the recovery progress from the KelpDAO exploit was approximately 80% by late April 2026 per CoinDesk, not 90% as stated. Additionally, the claim that TRM Labs corroborated the Lazarus Group attribution could not be independently verified from cited sources.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":6,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
