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.

However, several concrete errors were found: the stated San Francisco headquarters contradicts the company's own New York-datelined launch press release; one team-background claim substitutes 'Two Sigma' for the correctly-sourced 'Google'; and the PCRisk timeline entry incorrectly claims the scam-site article's publication date is unspecified when the source carries an explicit May 9, 2025 byline. More significantly, the page's funding total ($19 million) and App Store rating (4.6/~several hundred reviews) are both now stale: a $75 million Index Ventures-led Series B closed around June 2026 (total funding ~$94 million, $550 million valuation), and the live App Store page now shows 4.8/5 with over 23,000 ratings. The page also misses a second, more recent impersonation scam (fomoo[.]family, documented by PCRisk in July 2026). None of the issues found contradict the page's overall risk framing, but the funding and scam-coverage gaps are large enough that a reader would come away with a materially outdated picture of the company's scale and risk surface.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
