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 issue is band placement: the current CRITICAL score of 10 overstates entity-level risk by treating unresolved civil allegations as adjudicated fraud, attributing a co-founder's separate SEC action (Green United LLC, claim_findings[3]) to Gala Games itself, and using the exploit's face-value mint (~$200M) rather than realized loss (~$21.8M, subsequently recovered, claim_findings[1]). The page's own timeline language labels the Thurston token transfer 'Alleged' (claim_findings[5]), which is inconsistent with a CRITICAL fraud designation. Gala Games remains an active, operating platform with a community-approved tokenomics update as recently as April 2026 (claim_findings[4]). A score of 28 (WARNING band) correctly reflects material but unresolved legal exposure and poor internal controls without asserting entity-level fraud that the evidence does not support.","score_delta":18,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
