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 review identified one clear factual error: the timeline entry for the Bybit hack lists February 1, 2025, but Bybit's own documentation and multiple independent sources confirm the date was February 21, 2025 (claim_findings[33], disputed by Tier 1 source). Three additional claims are unverifiable due to a paywalled source and a 403 on Blockworks (claim_findings[18] and [19]), and six claims are partially supported due to minor figure discrepancies — most notably the 2021 combined loss total, which the page attributes as $15.5 million to SlowMist while SlowMist's own article states 'over $16 million' (claim_findings[15]). A high-priority coverage gap on regulatory and OFAC exposure was also flagged. The page requires revision to correct the Bybit date error and reconcile the SlowMist figure; it does not warrant denial or delisting.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
