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.

However, the page contains an internal arithmetic inconsistency between its stated $100,000 hackathon prize and its own $50,000/$100,000 breakdown of the same prize, cites a RugCheck score with no supporting source and an apparent scale/unit error, relies on two live on-chain analytics tools (Solyzer, and implicitly RugCheck) whose specific cited figures no longer match what those tools currently display, and cites an archived OKX snapshot that predates the incident it is meant to support. It also under-uses independent developer-community sourcing that would clarify what GSD is as software and that the project continues under a community fork.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
