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.

Six claims were disputed by independent sources, but the core narrative — the April 2025 admin key exploit, airdrop controversy mechanics, and funding history — is well-confirmed. The most material disputes involve tokenomics allocation figures (claim_findings[8]: official ZK Nation docs via Tier 1 source show 13.55% team and 19.78% investors, not the 16.1%/17.2% stated on the page) and the Stage 1 rollup classification (claim_findings[28]: L2BEAT, a Tier 1 source, shows at least six protocols at Stage 1 as of May 2026, not just Arbitrum One and DeGate). The TVL, ATL, and current price claims are also disputed by Tier 1 price data sources and largely reflect stale snapshots. The Deutsche Bank and UBS institutional pilot claim (claim_findings[35]) has no supporting source. A high-priority coverage gap on smart contract audit history further weakens the risk assessment. The penalty is set at the lower-middle of the band because disputed claims are predominantly staleness and precision errors rather than fabricated allegations, and reviewer confidence is 0.78.","score_delta":-20,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
