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.

Content is factually sound and supported by primary sources including the Solana Foundation incident report, Slope Finance's own DFIR report, and multiple Tier 1 outlets. The page's current score of 12 (CRITICAL) is inconsistent with the nature of the incident: the root cause was a severe security misconfiguration in Slope's own code — own-negligence, not intentional fraud. No exit scam, Ponzi structure, or criminal conviction is present. Under fraud-likelihood scoring semantics, own-negligence without criminal fraud sits in the WARNING band (20–49), not CRITICAL (0–19). The reviewer's recommended score of 28 reflects the severity of the negligence (~$4M user loss, no compensation, post-incident abandonment) while correctly distinguishing it from deliberate criminal conduct. Two instances of link rot noted in claim_findings[5] and claim_findings[17] do not affect the factual record as the underlying content is confirmed through alternate URLs and secondary sources. Score is corrected upward by +16 to align with calibration anchors.","score_delta":16,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
