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. Celestia is a legitimate, institutionally backed modular blockchain project (Bain Capital Crypto, Polychain, $155M raised) with documented mainnet operations since October 31, 2023. The two primary negative signals driving the current WARNING band are: (1) a 93%+ token price decline from the Feb 2024 ATH (~$20.85 on Feb 10, 2024 — not 'June 2024' as the page misreports), which reflects speculative market conditions across the altcoin sector rather than fraud; and (2) unproven insider-selling allegations from June 2025 that the CEO publicly denied and that resulted in no regulatory action, no civil suit, and no on-chain proof. The actual ATL reached $0.2797 in April 2026, lower than the page reports, but that further reflects macro market conditions rather than fraud. The phishing activity documented on the page is third-party abuse of Celestia's brand, not conduct by the entity. The October 2024 token unlock controversy was real and generated legitimate community criticism, but reflects aggressive but legal tokenomic scheduling common in the sector. Under the revised band semantics, Celestia belongs in CAUTIONARY (50-69): a legitimate operator with material caveats including heavy token inflation, aggressive VC unlock schedules, unresolved insider-selling concerns, and significant token value destruction — but no confirmed fraud, conviction, Ponzi mechanics, or exit behavior.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
