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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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}
