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.

Verdict: over-penalized. Page content is treated as accurate; the trust_score band is miscalibrated. EigenLayer is a legitimate and operational Ethereum restaking protocol by Eigen Labs that suffered two discrete third-party attacks in October 2024: a social engineering email compromise targeting an investor's token transfer (~$5.7M loss to the investor) and an X account hijacking that led to a phishing victim losing $800K in mETH. The company's own smart contracts, infrastructure, and on-chain systems were not compromised in either incident. Both incidents were resolved: Eigen Labs completed its investigation by October 29, 2024, partial fund freezes were achieved via law enforcement and exchange cooperation, and new security protocols were implemented. As of 2025-2026 EigenLayer (now EigenCloud) holds ~$8.9B TVL, has institutional operators (Google Cloud, Coinbase Cloud), and continues active protocol development. The current score of 32 (WARNING) is inconsistent with the page's own framing of EigenLayer as a legitimate protocol targeted by external actors. Under the post-policy band semantics, WARNING implies elevated fraud or loss risk from the entity; the correct band is CAUTIONARY (50-69), reflecting material caveats including: the process negligence of using unprotected email to coordinate high-value token transfers, the tokenomics controversy (VC-skewed allocation, US/Canada exclusion from airdrop, non-transferable initial tokens), and the unresolved question of exact fund recovery amounts — none of which constitute fraud by Eigen Labs itself. A score of 58 in the CAUTIONARY band is appropriate for an independently-verified, institutionally-backed protocol with resolved external incidents and documented operational shortcomings.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
