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 most significant problem is a scale metric: the page's claim of '$36 billion in cumulative trading volume' is contradicted by its own cited source (Solana Compass), which currently states Orca has processed roughly $500 billion cumulatively — an order-of-magnitude discrepancy that looks like a stale figure from early in Orca's history being presented as a current total. The TVL range ($400–500M) and the mid-2025 daily-activity snapshot are both now visibly stale relative to current live dashboard data, which shows substantially higher usage. Two citations have rotted: the direct Neodyme PDF link (404, unarchivable) and the dev.orca.so Account Architecture doc (redirects to a generic landing page); both have working replacements identified. The 'zero hacks since inception' claim is probably true but is partly supported by a mischaracterized citation (a CryptoRank piece actually about a different protocol's hack, which itself miscounts Orca's audits and names a different CEO than other sources).","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
