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 page warrants revision rather than approval because: claim_findings[18] establishes the DWF Labs deal is understated — the page describes $15 million as the total deal when CoinDesk (Tier 1) reported the announced arrangement was $20 million ($15M immediate plus $5M follow-on); claim_findings[28] and claim_findings[29] flag that the primary Guardian Audits citation URL returns 404 (link rot), leaving specific audit finding counts unverifiable from a live source; and claim_findings[30] and claim_findings[26] note the total SNX supply figure and original ICO token distribution percentages could not be independently confirmed. These are corrections to secondary details — no core allegations about incidents, governance, or risk events are undermined — but they are specific, correctable inaccuracies that should be addressed before re-approval. The high-priority coverage gap for TVL data also supports requesting an expansion.","score_delta":-7,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
