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.

Baton Corporation litigation, and the Pine Analytics and Solidus Labs research is well-sourced and largely confirmed. The principal accuracy problems are: (1) the Rug Republic-specific cluster statistics (18%/82%/$4.2M/12 clusters) are present in the community Medium ecosystem but do not appear in the two cited Medium sources and lack any primary Arkham publication to anchor them; (2) the single-wallet '29,834 tokens / $3.8M' claim conflates two separate wallets from the underlying source; (3) the South Korean CATFI prosecution is misdated in both the section text ('mid-2025') and the timeline ('2026-02-01') — the actual prosecution occurred in May 2026; and (4) the Arkham Intelligence URL cited as on-chain evidence is inaccessible (403). The page's 'Source Confidence Limitations' section partially compensates by acknowledging the low-confidence status of the cluster-specific figures.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
