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.

No core allegations about Lido's market position, legal status, governance structure, or historical events are in dispute. The most significant issue is claim_findings[24], in which the Alameda Research stETH sale figure of '$75 million' is attributed to three cited sources (CoinDesk, CryptoSlate, Fortune) that do not mention Alameda at all — the figure itself is plausible per other on-chain analysis but the citation is inaccurate and requires correction. Two additional partially supported findings (claim_findings[13] and claim_findings[31]) reflect a temporal conflation between Q3 2024 operator counts and the CSM mainnet launch date of October 2024 (Q4), which overstates CSM's role in the Q3 figures. Two cited URLs are inaccessible (FindLaw 403, Unchained Crypto 403), though the underlying facts are independently corroborated. Two high-priority coverage gaps — current post-November 2024 case status for Samuels v. Lido DAO, and non-US regulatory treatment of LDO/stETH — represent meaningful omissions the page should address.","score_delta":-8,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
