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 disputed_pct of 15% places this page in the revise band. The single hard-disputed finding (claim_findings[12]: Umbrella launch date stated as June 1, confirmed as June 5 by multiple independent sources) is a minor date error. More consequentially, the $327 million DeFi United fundraise total — stated in both the summary and claim_findings[17] — is not corroborated by any source; credible reporting consistently cites $300M-$320M, making this a repeated overstatement of a headline recovery figure. The AAVE token decline in claim_findings[12] is also understated at 10-13% when primary sources report 16-20%, which affects readers' assessment of market impact severity. Additionally, all seven section content fields are empty (coverage_gaps, priority: high), meaning the page has no body text beyond the summary and timeline — a structural deficiency requiring revision before the page can stand alone as a useful investigation.","score_delta":-10,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
