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.

The sole disputed finding (claim_findings[22]) concerns the dates of co-occurring third-party incidents cited for context: the page states that THORChain and Echo Protocol were exploited on the same day as Verus (May 18), but Tier 1 sources place the THORChain event on May 15 and the Echo Protocol event on May 19. This is a factual error in a peripheral contextual section, not in the core exploit narrative. All material claims — exploit date, amount, asset breakdown, root cause (checkCCEValues input/output gap), attacker wallet, Tornado Cash seeding, bounty terms, and fund recovery — are confirmed by Tier 1 sources. The Toutonghi title misattribution ('Technical Fellow' vs. 'Distinguished Engineer' at Microsoft) is a minor biographical detail that does not affect the investigation's integrity. Two high-priority coverage gaps remain open (no Verus team post-mortem, no GitHub audit trail check), but open gaps indicate expansion opportunities, not grounds for denial.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
