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.

All six claim findings (claim_findings[0]–[5]) were marked 'supported' with 0% disputed — the page content is accurate. The reviewer found that KyberSwap's current score of 38 (WARNING band) incorrectly conflates the severity of an externally-perpetrated exploit with culpability of the entity itself. KyberSwap is a legitimate, long-operating DEX aggregator that was victimized by a sophisticated third-party attack carried out by Andean Medjedovic, who was subsequently indicted by the U.S. DOJ (claim_findings[2]). KyberSwap responded in good faith with a Treasury Grant Program offering 60–100% compensation to affected users (claim_findings[3]). Under the platform's band policy, WARNING is reserved for entities with elevated fraud risk or unresolved incidents attributable to the entity; CAUTIONARY (50–69) is the correct band for a legitimate operator that suffered a major unresolved third-party exploit. The recommended score of 55 is well-supported, and a positive delta of +17 is warranted.
