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.

Two high-priority coverage gaps push this into revise territory instead: an unsourced summary claim that researcher ZachXBT has flagged LCX, for which the reviewer found no corroborating source after a targeted search (claim_findings[6]), and a licensing timeline that stops at the February 2025 MiCA filing without noting that as of mid-2026 the license remains pending past the EEA's July 2026 transitional deadline (claim_findings[18]). Neither issue rises to a contradicted claim, but both concern a named third party's reputation and the currency of a regulated exchange's licensing status, which the disputed-claims percentage alone does not capture. The page should be revised to either source or remove the ZachXBT line and to add a current-status note on the MiCA application before this is reconsidered for approval.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
