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.

However, 5 of 9 reviewed claims were disputed or could not be verified: the Tornado Cash amount is 311 ETH (about $959K) rather than 211 ETH (claim_findings[0], [1]), the $4.4M funding figure conflicts with the page's own $3.2M figure and has no source (claim_findings[5]), and the Blurr.eth MKR loss and the no-compensation statement were not verified (claim_findings[6], [7]). Tornado Cash is also described as currently sanctioned although OFAC delisted it in March 2025 (claim_findings[2]). The errors sit in secondary details rather than the central allegation, and the reviewer's confidence is moderate, so the penalty is set in the lower half of the band.","reviewer_def_hash":"bc11388ce4bc4deea1b064fea362663ae06e3f4f687f99604769044d6ffba770","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
