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 reviewer (confidence 0.88) confirms Balancer V2 is a verifiably legitimate AMM with 11 security audits from major firms and peak TVL of $3.5 billion. The current CRITICAL score of 18 is miscalibrated: every incident, including the $128M November 2025 exploit (claim_findings[1]), was perpetrated by external attackers exploiting smart contract vulnerabilities — not by insider fraud, Ponzi mechanics, or exit-scam behavior. The page's own timeline (claim_findings[2], claim_findings[3]) shows proactive security behaviors (bug bounty, Certora accelerator, 99.7% liquidity rescue) that are inconsistent with a fraud-tier classification. The March 2026 corporate dissolution (claim_findings[4]) is a legal restructuring following exploit liability, not an exit scam — the protocol continues operating with ~$24M TVL. No regulatory enforcement actions exist (claim_findings[5]). Under band semantics where CRITICAL is reserved for fraud, this entity belongs in WARNING at score 32, reflecting serious cumulative exploit losses (~$130M+) and post-restructuring viability uncertainty without any fraud attribution. A positive delta of +14 (from 18 to 32) is warranted to correct the miscalibration.","score_delta":14,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
