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.

Two of those, the roughly 50% price drop (claim_findings[1]) and the 60+ chains figure (claim_findings[2]), could not be verified, which gives 33% and places the page in the significant-issues band. No claim was disputed, the core shutdown, burn amount, 2021 raise, Router Chain wind-down and 2025 exploits were confirmed against The Block (claim_findings[0], [3], [5], [6]), and the reviewer did not check the other cited outlets. Because of this and the reviewer's moderate confidence of 0.6, the penalty is set at the mild end of the band.
