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.

Using the reviewer's own methodology (disputed + unverifiable over total), that puts disputed content at 4%, well inside the approve range. The one disputed claim, claim_findings[14], is a numeric transposition describing the protocol's emergency multisig as '8-of-6' when governance documents say '6-of-8' -- the description of what that multisig could and couldn't do is accurate, only the ratio notation is backwards. The two partially-supported claims are a source misattribution (claim_findings[11], where an accurate premeditation timeline is credited to a security firm whose own published report doesn't contain that specific finding) and an incompletely-verified set of governance proposal numbers (claim_findings[19]). None of the four coverage gaps the reviewer identified were rated high priority, and the reviewer expressed reasonably high confidence (0.80) in its findings. The core narrative -- the loss amount, the exploit mechanism, the shutdown announcement, and the current no-recovery/no-compensation status -- is corroborated by the protocol's own post-mortem and independent press and holds up.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
