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 page's central factual claims hold up: the three core incidents (AFX Trade $24.15M, Verus-Ethereum $7.54M, B² Network $3.86M) are real, correctly dated, mutually distinct, and sum correctly to ~$35.55M (claim_findings[0]), and a related fourth incident (Balance/42DAO) was correctly identified as excluded from that total rather than folded in (claim_findings[12]). The broader H1/July aggregate statistics cited on the page all check out arithmetically against independent reporting (claim_findings[14], [16], [17], [18]). The one disputed finding is that the page attributes the 'Hackers Day' nickname to security firm Blockaid as an official label, when the apparent originating source frames it as informal media shorthand and no Blockaid publication uses the term (claim_findings[1]); however, the page separately and explicitly discloses elsewhere that no security firm or law enforcement body has confirmed coordination between the attackers, so it does not overclaim a proven coordinated campaign (claim_findings[22]). Remaining issues are narrow sourcing-hygiene defects — two sources_used entries never cited inline (claim_findings[23]), one citation whose stored archive snapshot points to an unrelated page while the live source itself is valid (claim_findings[24]), and a PeckShield figure attributed to the wrong article — none of which affect a core claim or a critical citation.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
