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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. Cosmos Hub is a legitimate, long-running Layer-1 blockchain (mainnet since 2019) that has experienced real governance dysfunction, management disputes, and serious security vulnerabilities — but none of these constitute fraud or operator negligence resulting in user losses. Every cited IBC vulnerability was patched before exploitation. The SEC cases naming ATOM a security were both dismissed with prejudice in 2025. The DPRK LSM developer allegation, while serious, was investigated by Interchain Labs, Asymmetric Research, and Security Alliance, who jointly concluded no security issues remained and that most of the actor's code was deprecated. The page also reverses the direction of the Kwon/Manian allegations. The 42/WARNING score is appropriate for a protocol with genuine unresolved governance concerns (no-confidence vote, ICF transparency deficit, ecosystem fragmentation), but WARNING band implies elevated fraud or loss risk per the band semantics — Cosmos Hub has no unresolved loss events or fraud findings. A score of 58/CAUTIONARY correctly captures that it is a legitimate operator with material ongoing caveats (governance crisis, leadership instability, ecosystem health concerns) without misclassifying it alongside entities that have caused user losses or engaged in fraud.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
