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.

The most significant defect is a wrong all-time-high price and date for PICKLE ($34.35 on Feb 9, 2021, repeated in both a section and the timeline) where the real ATH, confirmed by CoinGecko and other trackers, is $85.24 on September 14, 2020 — a pre-hack, launch-week spike, which also undermines the page's causal framing of the figure as 'post-merger sentiment.' The downstream 99.68%-below-ATH statistic is consequently also wrong. A timeline date places the Cover Protocol claim approval in December 2020 when the primary source dates it to November 24, 2020. Two cited URLs (gov.yearn.finance and en.ethereumworldnews.com) are dead; a live replacement was found for the latter. A TVL claim ($140M peak, 'late 2020') is contradicted in part by a contemporaneous $347M TVL report from days after launch, though this may reflect rapid early volatility rather than an outright fabrication.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
