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, three material issues require correction: claim_findings[1] notes the $50 million ICO figure was Mashinsky's false public claim, not the actual raised amount (~$32M per DOJ plea); claim_findings[3] mislabels the $20 billion AUM as 'as of early 2022' when the peak occurred August 2021 with material decline by early 2022; and claim_findings[18] conflates multiple CEL figures without clear differentiation of total sales vs. net profit. Additionally, significant coverage gaps on state-level regulatory actions, the KeyFi third-party DeFi partner details, and deeper examiner report integration would strengthen credibility. High reviewer confidence (0.88) and absence of link rot indicate the corrections are editorial, not systemic.","score_delta":-18,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
