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 claims — the June 4 depeg price, volume figures, STRC collateral structure, Certora audit findings, team backgrounds, and DeFi venue TVL figures — are confirmed by multiple independent sources. The principal accuracy concern is the $23.4 million yield discrepancy claim, which could not be located in any of the cited articles upon direct inspection and lacks a named analyst or primary source. The SATA collateral percentage (cited as ~10%) appears slightly overstated relative to more granular data showing approximately 4%, with the remainder in cash equivalents. The page's own hedging language on unconfirmed funding figures is appropriate.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
