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.

However, the review surfaces a substantive framing problem at the core of this page: the stated root cause of the July 2026 incident (a solver-database exploit that left Garden's HTLC contracts untouched) is Garden Finance's own self-reported account, presented on the page as settled fact, with no independent forensic report backing it — unlike the October 2025 incident, which does have a published EY/zeroShadow report (claim_findings[2]). One of the page's own cited sources reportedly stated the opposite at the time, that the exploit 'appears to target the contracts themselves,' and a related synthesis claim reuses that same source in a way inconsistent with its plain meaning (claim_findings[13]). This is reinforced by a high-priority coverage gap calling for exactly this caveat (coverage_gaps[1]). The page is also stale on operating status, still describing restoration as pending when the app appears live as of the review date (claim_findings[3]), and overstates certainty on the loss total, which a cited source described as still being confirmed (claim_findings[2]). None of this rises to a disputed core allegation under the reviewer's formula, and reviewer confidence (0.75) is reasonably high, so the page remains in the review-revise band rather than escalating to a status change or denial — but the delta is set at the top of that band given how central the unverified self-report issue is to the page's main claim.","score_delta":-15,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
