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 page content is accurate and all six claim findings (claim_findings[0]–[5]) are confirmed supported with no disputes. The current score of 28 (WARNING band) is demonstrably too harsh: the $3.9M December 2025 exploit was an external attack the entity suffered and subsequently remediated (claim_findings[0]); the $4M NBA Top Shot settlement explicitly affirmed the NFTs are not securities and included no wrongdoing admission (claim_findings[1]); the SEC investigation closed with no enforcement action (claim_findings[2]); Korean exchange delistings were a downstream consequence of the hack, not a fraud determination (claim_findings[3]); and the 99%+ token price decline is consistent with the broader 2021-2022 NFT market cycle, not Ponzi mechanics (claim_findings[5]). Flow is a legitimate, venture-backed layer-1 with active development metrics (claim_findings[4]). A score of 54 (CAUTIONARY band) correctly reflects the real residual risks — unresolved post-exploit recovery, significant market cap loss, regulatory litigation history, major exchange delistings — while distinguishing a hack victim and settled-lawsuit entity from a fraudulent one. The score_modifier_delta of +26 moves the score to the reviewer-recommended 54.","score_delta":26,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
