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.

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}
