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.

The single disputed finding (claim_findings[12]) concerns the date of the Steakhouse Financial incident, which the page places in 'April 2026' when two independent Tier 2 sources confirm March 30, 2026; this is a verifiable factual error but affects only a contextual third-party data point, not any core allegation about the Neutrl protocol or the incident under review. The three partially-supported claims involve incomplete but not falsified information: a selective angel-investor list and an abbreviated founder biography. No link rot, stale citations, or core-claim contradictions were found. Reviewer confidence is 0.82. The page is approved; the Steakhouse date error and the missing on-chain forensics for the two flagged contract addresses are the highest-priority items for the next revision cycle.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
