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, three issues require correction before approval. First, the summary states Superteam was 'flagged for investigation by ZachXBT' — a claim the page itself concedes is unverifiable and that the reviewer (claim_findings[3]) found no supporting evidence for; this unconfirmed assertion sits in the opening summary and should be removed or attributed to an identifiable source. Second, timeline[7] (claim_findings[13]) asserts the Drift hack was 'the largest Solana hack to date,' which is directly contradicted by Tier-1 source Elliptic, which cites the 2022 Wormhole bridge hack at $326M as larger. Third, the citation in timeline[5] (claim_findings[11]) links to a CryptoPotato article covering a different $3.5M operation, not the Favrr/$680K/Alex Hong story — the underlying fact is accurate but the citation is wrong. Two high-priority coverage gaps also recommend expansion: no confirmed incident directly linking Superteam Earn to DPRK infiltration is presented, and a third co-founder (Devaiah Bopanna) is omitted from the founding-team description.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
