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.

The specific misappropriation dollar figures match InvestmentNews's reporting exactly. Two defects stand out: (1) the $9,335 all-time-high price figure, repeated four times across the summary, a section, and two timeline entries, rests on a single aggregator (Bitget) whose own page admits its feed is stale, and is contradicted by roughly 47x by two other sources (InvestmentNews ~$200, CoinLore ~$188.86) — this should be corrected throughout; (2) the claim that misappropriations represent 'more than 60%' of funds raised is the page's own arithmetic and actually computes to about 59% using its own cited figures. A minor sourcing mismatch exists on the 2020 project-launch date, which is probably correct but is attached to a citation (a Sept. 2021 press release) that does not support it. All other checked claims, including corporate structure, Basile's Fusion-io background, exchange listings, and the absence of criminal charges, held up under independent verification.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
