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.

Core claims — funding rounds, investor composition, audit firms and dates, Alameda recovery via ISDA, chain expansion timeline, acquisition/sunset details, and regulatory status — are confirmed by independent sources. The two unverifiable claims (Forbes Japan 30 Under 30 award; precise deposit halt timestamp) and three partially-supported claims (cumulative $500M volume, 'third-largest' TVL context, and December 2021 founding specificity) reflect minor gaps rather than material misstatements. A notable omission is the Risk.net-corroborated $13.6M Alameda recovery figure, and no investigation of potential knock-in barrier breach events affecting user principal was conducted.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
