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, the reviewer identified several issues requiring correction: claim_findings[7] reports that the Foundation's 27.3% token-control figure (sections[2]) conflates non-circulating supply with Foundation-controlled supply, and the only cited source for that claim is a 404. claim_findings[10] notes the 'before significant spread' characterization is contradicted by Tier 2 reporting that VeChain promised to reimburse actual victims. Two source URLs across the page return dead links (link_rot: 2), and the StarGate staking section (claim_findings[15]) relies on a press release authored by VeChain rather than independent reporting. No claims were outright disputed, and reviewer confidence is 0.82, supporting a moderate rather than steep penalty.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
