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 most significant factual issue is the founding year: the page states 2015 (Overclock Labs incorporation date), whereas Akash Network itself is consistently dated to March 2018 by multiple independent sources. Secondary issues include a Mainnet 6 date that is off by approximately one month (August vs. September 2023), a market cap figure ($202M) that overstates the current June 2026 market cap of ~$179-181M, a stale GitHub repository count (49 vs. ~65-68 current), and the primary ChainLight vulnerability citation URL being functionally dead due to a redirect loop. Quantitative performance claims (749% spend growth, 274% lease growth, 24% lease decline, 11% provider decline) are all confirmed by Messari research reports.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
