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, two partially_supported findings carry material weight: claim_findings[2] presents a $356 million TVL figure for OP Mainnet that appears significantly understated against mid-2026 L2BEAT data showing multi-billion TVL, and claim_findings[3] presents Superchain TVL and market share figures without disclosing Coinbase's February 2026 announcement that Base — the largest Superchain chain by TVL — is migrating off the OP Stack. This omission makes the Superchain framing misleading as written. A high-priority coverage gap for the Base migration (coverage_gaps[0]) further confirms this is not a trivial oversight. Additional minor issues include the Airdrop 2 date listed as January 2023 when sources indicate February 2023, the January 2021 mainnet launch conflating a soft/whitelisted launch with general availability, and the buyback vote outcome being omitted from the governance section.
