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 page is also appropriately hedged throughout about the absence of criminal charges or adjudicated wrongdoing. The most significant defect is a timeline entry that places Binance's ban of the market-making account on December 10, 2024, when the page's own cited source dates that ban to March 18, 2025 (already correctly recorded elsewhere on the page) — a straightforward internal contradiction. Secondary issues include an unverifiable detail (Groom Lake founder's 'FDR' pseudonym) found nowhere in public reporting, an unverified 34%-in-one-week price-decline figure, and a background sentence that implies the $3 billion valuation was contemporaneous with the December 2024 token launch when it was in fact reported a month later tied to a separate funding round. No accepted community submissions existed to review for this page.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":5,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
