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.

Key errors are: (1) the $3 million funding round is dated January 2022 in the timeline but multiple sources confirm it closed December 23, 2021; (2) the $11.3 million figure labeled as 'quarterly expenses' conflates a quarterly net loss (including large MAGIC impairment charges) with operating expenses — the official Q4 2024 report shows $4.26 million in actual operating expenses; (3) the page consistently omits the third co-founder Gaarp. The Blockworks source URL (blockworks.com vs blockworks.co) and the DappRadar URL for the exploit article appear functional. The narrative of the exploit, recovery, Trove launch, Treasure Chain launch, and 2025 financial collapse and pivot is well-sourced and accurate in substance.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
