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 single disputed claim (claim_findings[9]) concerns the HONEY all-time high price of ~$0.96 in January 2024, which is contradicted by CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap historical charts but supported by Coinbase and Gate.io data — a methodology disagreement between price aggregators, not a fabricated figure. All structural claims — team identity, funding rounds, token allocations, enterprise partnerships, governance proposals, and regulatory disclosures — are confirmed by Tier 1 and Tier 2 sources with no link rot or stale citations. Five partially-supported findings are minor peripheral details (dashcam price off by $89, Lyft partnership year ambiguity, MAXAR unverified, coverage kilometer interpretation) that do not materially affect the page's risk assessment. Two high-priority coverage gaps (on-chain holder concentration, commercial revenue data) are noted for future expansion but do not warrant score reduction under the decision rules.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
