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.

All six claim_findings are marked 'supported' (disputed_pct = 0%) and the page content stands as accurate. The reviewer's three modifier_flags identify the root cause of miscalibration: the current score of 47 (WARNING band) penalizes Phantom for (1) the August 2022 Solana exploit that was definitively caused by Slope Wallet's server-side key logging, not by any Phantom flaw; (2) a fake iOS App Store application that is entirely third-party brand abuse; and (3) the December 2024 Solana web3.js supply chain attack, which Phantom confirmed had zero impact on its systems. The only genuine residual caveats — an unresolved 2025 civil lawsuit (claim_findings[3]) and the patched-but-historically-critical Demonic vulnerability (claim_findings[4]) — appropriately support a CAUTIONARY band rather than a WARNING band. A score of 63 correctly distinguishes Phantom, a venture-backed legitimate operator with $268M in institutional funding and a positive March 2026 CFTC no-action letter (claim_findings[2]), from entities that have caused losses through their own conduct. The +16 delta moves the score from 47 to 63, consistent with the reviewer's recommendation and the post-policy CAUTIONARY band semantics.","score_delta":16,"sequence_num":9,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
