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 page misattributes a specific quote and dollar figure from the Andriunin complaint (the '$1 million within six hours for $200' offer, which concerns the real client token Robo Inu on Bitmart) to the FBI's decoy token NexFundAI, and incorrectly states that the SEC's October 2024 civil action named MyTrade as a defendant when the SEC's own release names only three firms (an error that also contradicts the page's own preceding sentence). Several specific statistics (1,221 transactions, 99% wallet concentration) could not be traced to any source, including the cited TRM Labs article or the primary complaint. The cited CoinTelegraph NexFundAI explainer is dead (404) across all three places it is referenced.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
