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.

Additionally, claim_findings[2] conflates the September 2018 ETHLend-to-Aave corporate rebrand with the January 2020 V1 protocol launch in a misleading way, claim_findings[22] reports Kulechov's pre-vote token purchase as $10 million when his own statement and multiple outlets cite $15 million, and the litigation section (claim_findings[16]) describes court proceedings as ongoing when a ruling clearing the $71M transfer was issued around May 9, 2026. The page does not warrant delisting — its core incident reporting is well-sourced and confirmed by Tier 1 outlets — but the GHO supply error requires correction before the page can be approved.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
