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 recurring errors exist: HIP 138's approval date is incorrectly stated as January 2025 in both the sections and timeline (the community vote was November 22, 2024; January 2025 was the implementation date); and the Q1/Q4 2025 hotspot count claim contains conflated figures. Most critically, the page is missing a high-priority material development: on June 2, 2026 (the same date as this review), Andrew Yang's Noble Mobile announced the acquisition of Helium Mobile from Nova Labs, reported across Fortune, Decrypt, Fierce Network, and BusinessWire — this fundamentally alters the entity's ownership and strategic direction.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
