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.

Major claims — Do Kwon's 15-year sentence, the $4.47B SEC settlement, the collapse mechanics, arrest details, and victim impact — are confirmed across Tier 1 sources. The most significant error is a timeline entry placing Anchor Protocol's launch in September 2020 when it launched March 17, 2021 — a 6-month factual error. A secondary issue is the February 2022 Anchor injection being described as $470 million when all available sources report $450 million UST. The $204 million figure for South Korean losses is unverifiable and appears to significantly understate documented losses. Coverage gaps exist around on-chain forensics, LFG reserve investigation findings, and international regulatory responses.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":1,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
