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 (indices 0-5) are marked 'supported' — the page's factual content stands without contest. The review establishes that Gala Games is a legitimate, actively operating platform (claim_findings[4]: Shrapnel on GalaChain in April 2026) and that its two primary incidents are both better characterized as suffered-by events: the May 2024 exploit resulted in ~$22M ETH returned by the attacker and all minted tokens burned via governance vote (claim_findings[0], [5]), and the founder litigation positions Gala Games as the aggrieved party, not the perpetrator (claim_findings[2]). Critically, claim_findings[3] confirms the SEC action was against Wright Thurston personally for a separate entity (Green United LLC) and does not name Gala Games — the current score of 28 appears to have treated this as entity-level regulatory exposure. The recommended score of 42 correctly keeps the entity in the WARNING band to reflect real, unresolved governance risk (active litigation, documented security negligence, token inflation history) without conflating suffered-by incidents with entity-level fraud. A +14 point delta is warranted.","score_delta":14,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
