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.

The core factual narrative of the August 9, 2026 hack — the ~$8.07M loss, wallet counts, laundering route through FixedFloat/ChangeNOW/BingX to Monero, and the company's own statement — is well corroborated across multiple independently fetched outlets (claim_findings[4], [6]–[10]), and the page appropriately treats this as a security incident rather than alleging fraud, which the reviewer specifically notes as an example of restraint. Weighing against that, claim_findings[15] (disputed) found that the page's Cryptwerk '1.4/5' rating is described as reflecting 'limited public feedback,' when the cited page in fact shows zero reviews behind that score — turning an empty placeholder into apparent negative sentiment about an operating company, which is a more serious defect than an ordinary wrong figure even though it is only one of eighteen claims. claim_findings[12] (unverifiable) cites general business-data aggregators (Dun & Bradstreet, PitchBook) to support a claim about the absence of regulatory enforcement action, sources that cannot actually confirm or deny regulatory status either way. Two of the three unverifiable findings (claim_findings[3] and [16]) are appropriately hedged absence/interpretive statements rather than real defects, which keeps the substantive defect rate lower than the raw percentage suggests and supports revision rather than denial.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
