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.

Statistically, the disputed rate is very low (about 2.6%, one finding out of 39). However, that single disputed claim (claim_findings[27]) is not a trivial detail: it states that DeFi governance attacks caused $25.1 million across five 2026 incidents 'prior to' the Term Labs event and calls Term Labs' $8.5 million loss the largest in that cluster. Per the reviewer's sourcing, Term Labs' loss is actually one of the five incidents already counted in that $25.1 million (not additional to it), and a separate $20 million BonkDAO exploit from July 2026 is the largest in the cluster, not Term Labs. This double-counts the loss total and overstates the entity's relative severity within an industry comparison the page itself uses to editorialize about risk — exactly the kind of claim a risk-intelligence platform needs to get right, even when everything else checks out. It also sits in the same later sections of the page as a small cluster of lower-severity accuracy issues (claim_findings[19], [26], [28], [35]): a two-day date discrepancy between the page's own cited sources, an understated 16-vs-19-month interval between incidents, and a claim that is true but not actually supported by the sources cited for it. None of these alone would justify action, but together with the compound error in claim_findings[27] they indicate the page's comparative/analytical framing needs a light correction pass, even though its core factual record is solid.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
