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 CertiK audit history (3 audits, last Dec 2025) is directly confirmed against the live CertiK Skynet page. Weaker points: the Overview section's corporate-governance details (87.22% vote approval, Ashley Ebersole's title, and to a lesser extent Mike McCluskey's exact 'CEO of tx' title at exploit time) rest solely on a GlobeNewswire press release that returned HTTP 403 on every fetch attempt and could not be reached via archive either, leaving these specific claims unverifiable from independently accessible sources, though McCluskey's general leadership role is corroborated secondhand. The page's claim that no compensation plan had been announced as of August 13, 2026 is supported by the higher-credibility CoinDesk and LiveVolatile sources, but is in direct tension with one of its own cited sources (Coin-Turk), which reported the same day that tx was 'finalizing a compensation plan' and had released an 'official report' — the page does not acknowledge this conflicting citation. The specific XRP intraday low ($0.9905) and 'since January 2024' framing could not be verified against the page's actual cited sources (both 403'd) and diverge from other reputable reporting ($0.996 low; 'since November 2024'). A genuine data defect was found: the archive_url for the Coin-Turk source points to an entirely unrelated article, which should be corrected to a working snapshot of the correct URL.
