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 well-sourced components — Solidus Labs platform-wide fraud statistics, Pine Analytics sniper data, and Aguilar v. Baton RICO litigation details — are confirmed by Tier 1 and Tier 2 sources. However, three accuracy problems drive the penalty: claim_findings[3] conflates two separate wallets from the underlying source to assert a single entity holding 29,834 token deployments and $3.8M in profits, which is a factual mischaracterization; claim_findings[18–19] misdate the South Korean CATFI prosecution as 'mid-2025' in the section body and '2026-02-01' in the timeline when the actual arrests and charges occurred in May 2026, an error of roughly one year and 3.5 months respectively; and claim_findings[4] (unverifiable) references a 'Deployer_X7' sub-cluster label that does not appear in any cited source, while the cited article uses 'Deployer_3X' with no matching figures. Additionally, claim_findings[22] identifies the primary Arkham on-chain evidence URL as returning 403 Forbidden, removing independent access to the most specific cluster evidence. The page's own 'Source Confidence Limitations' section (claim_findings[25], confirmed) partially offsets these issues by acknowledging that core Rug Republic statistics rest on community Medium articles without a formal Arkham publication.","score_delta":-12,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
