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 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}
