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.

Core claims about launch date, ATH, Bithumb delisting, token supply, deployer anonymity, Andreessen grant, and current price are all confirmed by independent sources. The main issues are minor: the Truth Terminal endorsement date is likely October 10 not October 11, the ATH upper bound of $1.37 is not corroborated (consensus is $1.35), OKX and Binance listed futures on the same day rather than sequentially, and the page conflates the $1B market cap milestone date (Nov 12-13) with the ATH date (Nov 17). The DEX liquidity figure of $2.4M appears potentially stale versus current lower levels. An unreviewed material event — the October 2024 SIM-swap hack of Ayrey's X account — is absent from the investigation.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
