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.

All six claim_findings are supported and disputed_pct is 0% — the page content stands as accurate. The reviewer (confidence 0.82) finds the current score of 42 (WARNING band) is too harsh for two reasons: (1) claim_findings[0] confirms the $12.86M BEX exploit was caused by an inherited Balancer V2 vulnerability affecting six chains simultaneously, with all funds fully recovered via white-hat cooperation and emergency hard fork — penalizing Berachain for a third-party vulnerability from which it suffered as a victim and recovered completely is not consistent with WARNING-band criteria; (2) claim_findings[5] confirms no regulatory enforcement action exists and an independent analyst explicitly characterizes the project as risky but not fraudulent. The unconfirmed insider-selling allegation (claim_findings[1]) and unusual but not illegal Brevan Howard side-letter (claim_findings[2]) are real concerns that warrant CAUTIONARY placement, but they do not meet the WARNING-band threshold of 'elevated fraud/loss risk or unresolved severe incident.' A score of 55 correctly reflects a legitimate, actively-developed L1 with material governance and tokenomics caveats without conflating third-party exploit recovery with ongoing fraud risk.","score_delta":13,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
