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.

As of June 2026, the address holds a zero ETH balance and no token holdings across any of the 33 chains supported by Etherscan's multi-chain view. The address has recorded exactly two transactions, both incoming transfers of approximately zero ETH value, both originating from address 0xF17ab2eE...470542676 and both confirmed on May 27, 2026 (blocks 25186125 and 25186132). No outgoing transactions, internal transactions, contract interactions, or token transfers are recorded. No ENS domain name is associated with the address.","heading":"Address Type and On-Chain Profile","severity":"low","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"Etherscan: Address 0x62d5a59e0d67c0381aad53b201b4a1b8dcd2c833","type":"on_chain","url":"https://etherscan.io/address/0x62d5a59e0d67c0381aad53b201b4a1b8dcd2c833"}]},{"content":"No scam or abuse reports for this address were identified on ChainAbuse, a community-powered reporting platform operated by TRM Labs.

The two transactions occurred within the same block range (blocks 25186125 and 25186132) on the same date, May 27, 2026, suggesting a coordinated or scripted funding event. The near-zero ETH value of each transfer is consistent with patterns used to initialize wallets for subsequent activity, test address liveness, or establish on-chain presence prior to further operations.
