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 review found 18.75% of claims disputed or unverifiable. Two claims are disputed: the Pashov audit completion date (page states January 2025; Pashov's public audit index shows February 12, 2025 per claim_findings[7]) and a conflict with the Halborn source, which attributes $427k to the Veil Cash hack — an apparent error by Halborn that contradicts the consensus 2.9 ETH figure confirmed across four independent sources (claim_findings[15]). Two additional timeline dates (protocol launch January 2024; Coinbase EAS June 2024) are unverifiable and likely inaccurate given GitHub org history (claim_findings[5], [6]). One cited source returns 404 (claim_findings[16]). Two high-priority coverage gaps — on-chain transaction anchors and the protocol launch date — remain unaddressed and should be resolved before the page is considered authoritative.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
