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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Key claims about the exploit mechanism, financial figures, testnet dates, and team/audit opacity were all corroborated by independent sources. The three partially-supported findings are minor characterization issues rather than substantive inaccuracies: the irta.io URL was unresponsive at review time, the $50 deposit minimum framing is slightly imprecise, and the April 25 mainnet date appears inferred from publication date rather than explicitly stated. The primary limitation of this review is that the central AMBCrypto exploit source returned HTTP 403 on direct fetch, so specific numerical claims were verified only through search-result snippet summaries rather than verbatim source text. No on-chain data was independently analyzed.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":2,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
