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.

The protocol allows drivers to connect their vehicles, stream data, and earn $DIMO tokens in exchange. In November 2025, a sophisticated attacker compromised a developer key and withdrew approximately 30 million DIMO tokens (3% of total supply) from a Wormhole bridge contract, causing a price drop of over 57% in 30 days and triggering a CertiK security alert. The project has legitimate venture backing and a publicly identified founding team, but the security incident, centralized key management failure, and ongoing token unlock pressure are material risk factors.","timeline":[{"date":"2021-01-01","event":"DIMO founded in Brooklyn, New York by Andy Chatham, Alex Rawitz, Rob Solomon, and Yevgeny Khessin under Digital Infrastructure Inc.","source":""},{"date":"2022-01-01","event":"Digital Infrastructure Inc. raises approximately $9 million seed round from CoinFund, Variant Fund, Slow Ventures, ConsenSys Mesh, and Borderless Capital.","source":""},{"date":"2022-06-01","event":"DIMO announces it will build on Polygon and launch the $DIMO utility token.","source":""},{"date":"2022-12-01","event":"$DIMO mainnet launches on Polygon.
