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.

First, claim_findings[13] and timeline[5] both carry a disputed verdict: the page states the Global Synchronizer MainNet went live on June 25, 2024, but the primary Tier 1 source cited on the page itself (Canton Network's own press release) states July 1, 2024. Second, claim_findings[30] places the Super Validator count at approximately 26 as of early 2026, while Visa's own March 2026 press release (Tier 1) explicitly records 40 Super Validators at that time, making the governance-concentration description materially outdated. Additionally, claim_findings[18] reports 'over 60 institutional participants' as of May 2026 when contemporaneous sources cited nearly 400 and later 700+, and timeline[11] carries a link_rot finding where the cited source covers an unrelated event. Two high-priority coverage gaps — token holder concentration data and independent on-chain transaction verification — are noted for expansion but do not block approval on their own.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
