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.

Three claims require correction: claim_findings[15] places the Sonic Labs-secured court-ordered winding-up of Multichain Foundation in October 2024, but multiple Tier-1 sources (The Block, CoinTelegraph) confirm the Singapore Supreme Court order came on May 9, 2025 — a seven-month error in a high-severity section. claim_findings[30] describes the $150M token issuance as a 'roughly 20% supply increase' when multiple sources indicate 14-15% total supply dilution, overstating the impact on token holders. claim_findings[35] cites the original minimum validator stake as 3,125,000 FTM versus the 3,175,000 FTM documented in official GitHub records, a minor but correctable numerical error. The Multichain winding-up date error is the most significant finding as it misrepresents the timeline of an ongoing high-value legal recovery and is flagged as a high-priority coverage gap by the reviewer.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
