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.

Following ZachXBT's public disclosure, the Glori Finance X account was deactivated and the protocol's website went offline, consistent with an exit scam.","timeline":[{"date":"2022-01-01","event":"Solfire exit scam ($4.8 million) — alleged earliest confirmed operation by the same scam group","source":"","source_url":"https://cryptopotato.com/warning-malicious-group-threatening-layer-2-networks-exposed/"},{"date":"2023-03-01","event":"Kokomo Finance exit scam ($4–5.5 million) — alleged second major operation by the same group","source":"","source_url":"https://bitcoinist.com/kokomo-finance-pulls-exit-scam/"},{"date":"2023-08-01","event":"Magnate Finance exit scam ($6.5 million) — alleged operation by same group","source":"","source_url":"https://coingape.com/magnate-finance-deployer-exploited-17-mln-from-multiple-rug-pulls/"},{"date":"2024-01-01","event":"Crolend, Hash DAO, and HellHoundFi scams executed; stolen funds later traced as seed liquidity for Glori Finance","source":"","source_url":"https://www.coinlive.com/news/zachxbt-sounds-alarm-on-scammers-associated-with-defi-protocol"},{"date":"2024-04-14","event":"ZachXBT publishes investigation on X identifying Glori Finance (Arbitrum), Leaper Finance (Blast), and Zebra DAO (Base) as simultaneous exit scams operated by the same serial fraud group; advises users to withdraw immediately","source":"","source_url":"https://cryptopotato.com/warning-malicious-group-threatening-layer-2-networks-exposed/"},{"date":"2024-04-14","event":"Leaper Finance team taunts ZachXBT on X referencing Lazarus Group before deactivating accounts; Glori Finance X account and website go offline","source":"","source_url":"https://beincrypto.com/fraud-ethereum-layer-2-base-blast-arbitrum/"}]},"v":1}
