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.

Two of nine checked claims could not be verified (claim_findings[6], a negative claim about arrests as of mid-2026, and claim_findings[7], an unsourced 2022-06 timeline entry), which puts the page in the 10-30% band. Four further claims were only partly supported: the summary wording implies the $19.3M TRM figure covers only the additional scams when it includes SQUID (claim_findings[0]), the $3.38M loss figure is stated flatly though outlets report $2.1M to $3.38M (claim_findings[5]), the October 20 start date is unconfirmed (claim_findings[4]), and one timeline entry has no source (claim_findings[8]). The project's shutdown is stated on the page, no omissions were found, and only a sample of citations was checked, so the penalty stays at the lower end of the band.","reviewer_def_hash":"bc11388ce4bc4deea1b064fea362663ae06e3f4f687f99604769044d6ffba770","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
