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 January 2025 test-contract exploit and the June 2026 deprecated-vault exploit (omitted from the page, coverage_gaps[0]) are both attribution 'b' (suffered), with the latter ~95% recovered by a white hat; the Three Arrows Capital linkage is attribution 'c' (investor-concentration, correctly not framed as Thetanuts' own conduct). Per the rubric, suffered incidents with no own-fraud finding cap the entity at CAUTIONARY (50-69), not WARNING. The page does carry one material content defect — claim_findings[4], the 'flagged by ZachXBT' claim, is unsupported by its cited source (which covers an unrelated protocol) and could not be corroborated elsewhere — which should be corrected on the next editing pass, but this is a citation/attribution error, not evidence of entity fraud, and does not itself justify a WARNING-level conduct score. Notes: (Correct or remove the 'flagged by ZachXBT' claim in the summary (claim_findings[4]) — the cited t.me/s/investigations/282 post is about an unrelated Garden Finance exploit and does not mention Thetanuts.) (Add the June 15, 2026 deprecated-vault exploit (~$2.1M drained, ~$2M recovered by white hat) to the timeline per coverage_gaps[0]; the page's incident history currently ends 2026-05-28 and omits the most consequential fund-loss event on record.) (Fix the 'since its 2022 peak' framing — TVL peaked in 2022 but NUTS token price peaked in May 2024; the two should not be conflated in a single sentence.) (Reconcile the NUTS ATH price ($0.0442 on page vs $0.04073 per CoinGecko) and the current TVL figure ($639K on page vs conflicting secondary figures) against a dated, citable DefiLlama/CoinGecko snapshot.)","score_delta":14,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
