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 main weaknesses are: (1) the TRM Labs illicit-volume statistics (58%/$26B) are reported as settled fact when TRM itself labels them preliminary and expects a large upward revision; (2) the T3 Financial Crime Unit's '$300 million since September 2024' figure is not actually supported by the only source cited for it (which caps out at $100M as of Jan 2025), though a later, uncited source does corroborate $300M; (3) a couple of minor citation gaps (EthereumJ code-plagiarism claim, June 2022 USDD depeg, the $732M USDD timeline entry) where the underlying facts check out but the page's own source list doesn't cover them; and (4) the Political Conflicts of Interest section cites an Axios article about the Sun-WLFI falling out but never actually reports that falling out, leaving the section's framing one-sided relative to its own citation. No outright fabrications or reversed claims were found.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
