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, a disputed finding shows the page overstates a June 2025 funding round as an '$8 million raise' when cited sources describe it as a $4M round (with $8M being a cumulative two-round total) and gets the date off by roughly a week (claim_findings[24]). More significantly, nearly every operational detail that casts RISEx's incident response favorably — its SEAL 911 engagement, its negotiation attempt, its claim that only one withdrawal occurred, and its explanation of why withdrawal throttles didn't trigger — rests solely on the implicated party's own unfetchable X post with no independent corroboration found (claim_findings[8],[9],[10],[12]), a gap the reviewer separately flagged as high-priority (coverage_gaps: 'independent security-firm confirmation'). A second high-priority gap notes the page omits any on-chain forensic detail (attacker address, transaction hash) for the drained funds. Additional partially-supported findings include a launch date that contradicts the page's own cited source (July 24 vs. July 20, claim_findings[26]) and an investor roster only fully corroborated by an uncited source (claim_findings[19]). These issues warrant correction and additional sourcing but do not undermine the page's core allegation.","score_delta":-13,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
