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, two significant factual errors undermine credibility: the 'first unveiled in late 2023' claim contradicts multiple tier-1 sources placing the original announcement in November 2022, and the claim that 'mainnet is not yet live as of mid-2026' is materially stale — Midnight's federated mainnet launched March 30-31, 2026 with nine major validators. The launch-day price crash figures ($0.11 to $0.02, 60%+) also appear inaccurate; independent sources consistently report a high around $0.119 and a day-one low around $0.035 representing a 66-77%+ decline.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
